The Denver Nuggets star has incurred a fine of two thousand dollars

The NBA has fined the Denver Nuggets star, Nikola Jokic, two thousand dollars.

The basketball player was penalized $2000 for flopping in the game against Sacramento, which concluded with a score of 117:123. Jokic fell to the court after contact with his opponent, Domantas Sabonis. Although Sabonis received a foul, the league also decided to sanction the Serbian player for simulation.

He began his professional career in 2012 with the Mega Vizura team, primarily participating in youth team games during the 2012/13 season. In the 2013/14 season, he played in 13 games in the Serbian Championship and 25 games in the Adriatic League. On June 26, 2014, Jokic was selected as the 41st overall pick by the Denver Nuggets in the 2014 NBA Draft.

In the summer of 2015, after a season in Europe, Jokic returned to the team that drafted him. On July 28, 2015, he signed a contract with the Denver Nuggets. He leads among all Europeans in the number of triple-doubles in NBA history and is among the top four in this category among all players. He participated in the NBA All-Star Game five times from 2019 to 2023. He is an NBA champion and the MVP of the 2023 finals.

Nikola has played 20 games in this season, averaging 29.0 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 9.8 assists.
