In addition to Phoenix losing 98:89, the game will be most remembered for the brawl in which Nurkic was the main actor.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Jusuf Nurkić and Naji Marshall clashed, who first got in each other’s faces.

Then, Nurkić was the first to hit Marshall in the head, who then hit him back with a hook, and all this caused general chaos on the floor.
Dallas wing center PJ Washington got into the fight, so Nurkic ended up on the floor, and in the end, all the players and both teams got involved, so the referees had to react and separate the actors of the fight.
In the end, three exclusions were handed out – one for Nurkic and two for the Dallas basketball players.
Jusuf Nurkić spent 13 minutes on the court before being sent off, in which he scored three points and had five rebounds and two assists, and there is no doubt that he will face a heavy punishment due to this incident.
