The Nuggets and Nikola Jokic can breathe a little easier after the superstar center avoided a suspension for shoving Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday.
The two-time NBA MVP was fined $25,000, however.
Chaos ensued when Suns guard Josh Okogie crashed into the stands near the team owner to save a loose ball late in the first half.
Jokic, attempting to get the ball back, appeared to shove Ishbia, who flew backward.
The Nuggets star center was given a level-one technical foul in the game but many speculated a suspension was possible, though Ishbia himself lobbied against one.
