Nikola Jokic was visibly upset after Anthony Edwards drew a foul on him without making contact as the Denver Nuggets faced the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Serbs say: ,,Sorry we didn't know it was invisible,,😁😅
Ant could've been seriously injured here.
И поред овога угази их као жабе. Фасцинантно !
the possibility to be such an authority in the game, to fool players, tens of thousands of people in the building, and hundreds of thousands in front of TV and Social Media, is just ridiculous and unacceptable.
why a ref could not be fouled out of the game for his mistakes..? why there is no authority over them?
I just don't get it why the teams are silent about this issue..
refs just want to be the center of attention
Jokic does get beaten and no ft. This is a pure racism hate against Serbs again. But, you can not come any close to us United Satanists of America!
how is it 2023 and we still can't see calls overturned like this without a challenge? Within 10s of the play, everyone knows whether it's a foul or not. The whole arena watches the replay, even the refs realise it's a bad call, but the free throws are still shot? What a joke.
fouls are called soft in the nba nowadays
This is why Jokic moves away most of the times… He gets these stupid foul calls that make no sense…
These refs need to be held accountable! This is just getting ridiculous. There's no way you can be this bad at your job and not get fired.
ball doesnt lie
If this isn't brought up as a topic on today's shows then we have a problem
Guys, refs get away with this stuff unpunished because they are the instrument the NBA uses to fix games
NIKOLA 🇷🇸💪 MVP2023😃
KOSOVO IS SERBIA 🇷🇸
😂😂😂😂
Won't catch me defending refs. This was worse than normal though.
And coach smile 😂🤣😂🤣 if this hapend to Željko Obradović team omg it will be fire on court 😂🤣😂🤣
Basketball is the only sport where Refs are actively trying to disqualify the superstars
Tired of people saying refs need to be punished for bad calls. Are they are going to make better/correct calls with the threat of punishment. Ref had a terrible angle and made a really bad call – is he going not call a foul there if the league is fining refs for bad calls?
In summary – just stfu, fining refs is no solution at all.
Part of the problem is limiting coaches to one appeal/game – here they couldn't challenge because Jokic had already had a bad call against him and the Nuggets used their one/game then. Nuggets are still in the first half and no challenge can be made, doesn't matter how bad or important the calls are.
Dear Americans, those are mistakes, but ur refs have been calling like this for years without any suspensions or fines, so they call foul reflexively. Whenever star player is going for layup and if he doesnt score refs immediately call a foul, doesnt matter if it happened
Nuggets and Wolves get the WORST whistle in the league. Jokic phantom foul on Edwards, Naz getting elbowed in the face that somehow gets overturned. It's awful
With the amount of contact they were allowing, an then you had calls like this. An this wasn't the only call where there was zero contact.
The best thing is the Denver used their challenge for call on Jokic in the first quarter! And it was successful… Smh
Dios santo que desastre el albitraje 😂
Ball don’t lie 🤷🏾♂️
idc another Nuggets W
So the NBA is still a joke?
Jokic gets NO calls from the refs, compared to Embiid, Luka, Giannis, Tatum etc all get twice as many FT attempts. Refs need to correct this bias
Refs need to be find for bad calls
:53 second mark Jokic does make contact. Good or bad call, he did make contact.
I don't know what's worse NBA refs or NFL refs
100% a faul. Antman clearly was blinded by Joker's greatness
Come on .Jokic clearly looked at him intensely why he was trying to score.Its clearly a foul
Jokic MVP
Ant really tried high-fiving joker 😂
This is how the league respects their MVP
Boycott
As a fellow official. That’s a really bad call.
That's the Jokic story in every single nba game…they call him invisible fouls,but not call when they slaps him so hard that you can heard slap on TV!
This is how french men react when in disbelief 😂
Of the 200 or so NBA games I watched this year. This was the worst officiated game I have seen. There were bad calls both ways but the most egregious calls were against Denver. And most of the foul calls against Jokic were foul(they stunk).
Also the tv commentators that were shocked by the foul. Are the Grizzlies people not the the nuggets.
The nba needs to start fining these refs they need to tighten up.
Ball don’t lie!!
If I remember well this game, they gave 3 times more FTs to Timberwolves, not calling fouls on them, it was just awful. Nuggets still won
Nick Wright says Jokic complains to the refs too much, but this is a perfect example of why he does. If Jokic got the same kind of calls that Embiid and Giannis get, then he would be shooting like 16 more free throws per game.
