“This is an example of incidental contact that occurs after a shot has been released, and this contact would not be ruled a defensive foul. The defensive player, TJ Warren, makes incidental contact to the hand of the shooter, Nikola Jokic, and this contact occurs after the ball has been released on the field goal attempt. Because the contact was incidental, and it occurred after the release of the shot, no foul would be assessed on this play.”
