Jokic fined $50,000, Randle fined $35,000 for Nuggets-Wolves incident‎

Denver's Nikola Jokic was fined $50,000 and Minnesota's Julius Randle was fined $35,000 for their roles in an altercation near the end of Game 4 of the teams' playoff series, the NBA announced Sunday. The incident was evidently sparked when Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels took an uncontested layup with 2.1 seconds left and the Timberwolves already leading by 14 — a play the Nuggets took exception to, given how the game had been decided. Jokic, the NBA said, “initiated the incident by confronting and shoving” McDaniels in reaction to that play.
