The fan threw the ball at Jokic, but Okogie intercepted it as security made their way to the scene.Great win for the Suns last night in an amazing series so far! That should be and is the only story. Suspending or fining anyone over last nights incident would not be right. I have alot of respect for Jokic and don’t want to see anything like that. Excited for game 5! Go Suns!Nuggets coach Michael Malone was asked about Jokic being fined after saying he didn’t care Ishbia was the one who had the exchange with Jokic following Game 4.
