The NBA is reportedly investigating a scuffle between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, sparked by a violation of the unwritten rules of basketball. The incident occurred during the end of Game 4 of the series, when Jaden McDaniels was given the ball in for an extra point by Wolves' Mike Conley, who had already led with a missed Denver shot, passed it ahead to Jaden Jokić who was already at halfcourt.

The league is expected to make its rulings on potential punishments before Game 5 on Monday.
