Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic Ejected After Shoving Markieff Morris; Heat PF Also Tossed
The end of Monday's Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets game was mired by a confrontation between Heat forward Markieff Morris and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic.
After Morris bumped him near midcourt, Jokic retaliated with a cheap shot by elbowing him hard in the back. The incident caused a skirmish between the two teams, and officials ejected both players for their actions.
Heat star Jimmy Butler was particularly fired up, jawing at the Denver players and staff members long after the play.
Morris was down for a while, and a stretcher was brought out before he walked off the floor under his own power.
