Brothers of NBA players Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris exchange words on Twitter following Nuggets-Heat scuffle

Emotions from NBA MVP Nikola Jokic’s retaliatory body check from behind on Miami Heat forward Markieff Morris on Monday night have spilled onto social media as the brothers of both players weighed in.

As the league looks into whether to levy any further punishment over the Denver Nuggets star’s ejection after his run-in with Morris with 2:39 left in the fourth quarter during the Denver Nuggets’ 113-96 win over the Heat, LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris, Markieff’s twin brother, chimed in on Twitter.

Marcus Morris intimated that Jokic shoving his brother from behind was shady and that he will remember it.

“Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED,” Marcus Morris tweeted Monday night with an emoji of a pen in hand.

That prompted Jokic’s brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja, to open a Twitter account named “@JokicBrothers” to respond to Marcus Morris, The Denver Post reported.

The newly-created account tweeted: “You should leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening our brother! Your brother made a dirty play first. If you want to make a step further be sure we will be waiting for you !! Jokic Brothers”

Nikola Jokic faces the likely possibility of a suspension after he took exception to a foul by Markieff Morris. Jokic rebounded the ball and brought it down court when he passed the ball near midcourt. The Heat forward, trying to stop play, gave a hard foul with his left elbow to Jokic’s exposed right side as the center was delivering an overhead pass. As Morris walked away, an irate Jokic took a couple of steps and delivered a hard right forearm shove with his weight behind him to Morris’ back, sending the Heat forward flying hard toward the floor.

Morris was assessed a flagrant foul two and Jokic was ejected.

“That was a very dangerous and dirty play,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after the game….
