Nikola Jokic is about to miss a bunch of games because there’s no way the NBA doesn’t suspend the reigning MVP for the disgusting cheap shot he took at Markieff Morris late in Monday night’s Heat-Nuggets game in Denver.
This all happened in the final few minutes of a blowout win for the Nuggets. Jokic was bringing the ball up the floor when Morris stepped in and committed an obvious foul. Jokic wasn’t happy with that and decided to show off his anger by hitting Morris from behind with a vicious blow that could have done some serious harm.
