Jokic fined $50,000, Randle fined $35,000 for Nuggets-Wolves incident
Denver's Nikola Jokic has been fined $50,000, and Minnesota's Julius Randle $35,000, for their roles in an altercation during Game 4 of their playoff series, the NBA announced Sunday.
Both players will be eligible to play in Game 5 on Monday in Denver.
The incident was sparked when Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels took an uncontested layup with 2.1 seconds left, leading by 14.
Jokic confronted McDaniels, and Randle escalated the situation by shoving Nuggets guard-forward Bruce Brown.
Both received technical fouls and were ejected.
Minnesota leads the series 3-1.
