After being fined $25,000 by the NBA for his now-viral scuffle with Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Game 4 against the Suns, Denver's Nikola Jokić found the perfect way to mend the rift prior to Game 5.
Jokić, who went into the stands to retrieve a loose ball that had bounced out of bounds during Sunday’s Game 4, knocked the ball free from Ishbia, who had caught it. The two-time NBA league MVP slightly shoved the Phoenix owner who fell back into his seat.
Prior to tip-off on Tuesday night, the five-time NBA All-Star made his way over to Ishbia at the conclusion of Denver's warm-up. Ahead of embracing, Jokić jokingly made it a point to hand Ishbia the ball.
