The tension is rising in the first-round series between the Clippers and Nuggets. Tempers flared near halftime of Game 4 between LA and Denver, and while six technical fouls were doled out, there were no ejections.

The Denver Nuggets are looking to bounce back on Thursday night when they take on the LA Clippers in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. They may, however, have to play without the services of Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr. will not be suspended for Game 5 of Denver’s first-round playoff series after leaving the bench during a Game 4 altercation between the Nuggets and Clippers, an NBA spokesperson confirmed to The Denver Post.
