The Denver Nuggets-Miami Heat game last Monday night went into chaos after reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic took a cheap shot on Heat’s Markieff Morris.
Jokic did the shove as retaliation for Markieff’s hard foul on him which was upgraded to flagrant foul penalty 2 last night by the league.
A postgame photo after the Nuggets win over the Heat went viral on Twitter.
The Heat players were seen waiting for Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets players in the tunnel.
According to AAron Ontiveroz, a photographer based in Denver, Jimmy Butler led the Heat players to confront the Nuggets

Thankfully, the security intervened before anything further happened.
Jokic was suspended one game without pay while Butler and Markieff were fined $30,000 and $50,000, respectively.
