Jokic and Randle Fined for On-Court Altercation

The NBA has fined Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic $50,000 and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle $35,000 for their roles in a physical altercation during a game on Wednesday night. The incident occurred in the third quarter when Jokic and Randle became entangled while fighting for position, leading to Jokic shoving Randle and Randle retaliating with a push. Players from both sides intervened to separate the two, and referees issued double technical fouls. The league announced the fines on Friday, citing violations of the NBA's rules against escalating on-court conflicts.
