Nuggets, say goodbye to your star player for a little bit.
Nikola Jokic went OFF on Monday night and we’re not talking about the 25 points he put up.
The Nuggets centre lost his temper and got himself ejected in the fourth quarter of the Nuggets 113-96 win over the Miami Heat on Monday. Technically Miami’s forward, Markieff Morris started it first by fouling him up the floor, but then Jokic took it to another level by shoving Morris pretty hard from behind.
Things got ugly pretty quickly between both teams. Jimmy Butler was all set and ready to go at Jokic.
When things started to cool down, Morris was ejected as well and was able to walk off the floor on his own. Following the game, the Heat announced that he had suffered a neck injury from the shove.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, it’s hard to believe that Jokic won’t be suspended. He literally went at Morris from behind with no warning.
If there wasn’t a rivalry before there definitely is now!
