Incidental contact

Incidental contact in basketball refers to a minor contact that happens between 2 or more players, usually overlooked by officials and without any committed fouls.

Contact here may occur during the performance of their normal duties during gameplay.

Example: Nikola Jokic and Stephen Curry fall to the floor after making contact while trying to secure the loose. No foul was called after the incidental contact.
