He managed to get him out of himself Nikola Jokic The Markif Morris. The forward of the Heat threw an insidious blow in an unsuspecting phase to the Serbian center of the Nuggets, but the “Joker” did not let it pass like that.
He took shape and threw his huge body on him, knocking down the tough Miami ace. The MVP of last season was sent off with 2:39 remaining and after with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists he had taken care to pave the way for the victory (113-96).
«It was a silly reaction. I feel bad. I received a dirty blow and felt I had to protect myself. I know I should not react like that, but it happened and I feel bad“, Said Jokic after the match.
Morris was not seriously injured, according to his coach, Eric Spoelstra, who scolded the energy of the Denver ace. «It was a dangerous and dirty blow. Markif committed a foul to stop the surprise. It might have been a little harder, but I had no intention of hitting him. What Jokic did was unjustified. It could have hurt him just as he turned and hit him“, He stated.
