Julius Randle Fined $35K but Avoids Suspension Following Playoff Ejection

The NBA fined Julius Randle $35,000 for his role in a late-game altercation during the Timberwolves' 112-96 playoff victory over the Nuggets. Randle was ejected alongside Nikola Jokic, who received a $50,000 fine, after a layup by Jaden McDaniels with 2.1 seconds remaining sparked tension. While the league confirmed no suspensions will be issued for Game 5, the incident remains under review. The Timberwolves currently hold momentum following the physical Game 4 win on Saturday night.
