On Saturday morning, the NBA released their Last Two Minute Report for Friday night’s game between the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets, which contained a highly contentious explanation for one Nikola Jokic move. With five seconds left in the game, Jokic and Day’Ron Sharpe appeared to become entangled beneath the basket. Although no foul was called, the NBA believes Jokic should have been.

“Jokic (DEN) grabs and pulls Sharpe’s (BKN) left arm, affecting his rebound positioning.” Sharpe did not instigate any illegal contact that dislodges Jokic from his position,” according to the NBA.

This appears to be the play where Jokic got cut on his arm, according to this source. Despite this, the NBA ruled that Jokic should have been called for a foul on the play, which was unsurprisingly contentious.

The league found that every other call or non-call in the final two minutes was correctly ruled, hence this was the sole missed call on the Last Two Minute Report. These plays are often difficult to call since it’s often unclear who initiated the contact when two players become entangled. Having said that, the NBA has stated that Jokic should have been called for a foul on this play, despite leaving with a cut on his arm.
