Little Adelman said: "We have to let the players learn to do this. I think the rules now allow you to hug others from behind, because as long as you touch the ball, it is a fight. I have to teach them these basic skills in training. So we must learn it."

At the last moment of the game between the Nuggets and Trail Blazers, Jokic was held by Kamara from behind and interfered with the ball, and the referee whistled for a fight. The official referee report released by the NBA yesterday believed that Kamara and Jokic formed a clean competition for the ball, and the referee's penalty for the jump ball was in compliance with the rules.
