The Phoenis Suns are lucky to be in one piece after the scuffle between Nikola Jokić and Devin Booker.
As the Denver Nuggets edged closer to playoff elimination, league MVP Nikola Jokic was ejected from Sunday night’s game with a flagrant foul 2 after taking a wild swing in frustration at Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne.
Jokic was handed the flagrant 2 and ejected from Game 4 of Denver’s Western Conference semifinal series with 3:52 remaining in the third quarter. Before that, however, there was a mini scuffle between him and Devin Booker that got the crowd rowdy.
Footage has since shown that his brothers were close to jumping on the court to protect their sibling.
“I wanted to change the rhythm of the game, I wanted to give us some energy, maybe change the whistle a little bit, so I wanted to make a hard foul,” Jokic said. “Did I hit him, did I not hit him? We don’t know. So I say sorry if I did because I did not want to injure him or hit him in the head on purpose.”
“I thought honestly they would not eject me,” Jokic said.
With Jokic out, the Suns went on to win 125-118 to advance to the Western Conference finals, completing a 4-0 sweep at Denver.
