The penalty phase following Nikola Jokic's push incident against Markif Morris during Denver's game against Miami has arrived.
Early in the morning (Wednesday) the NBA League announced that the Serbian chin was removed from one game after pushing the Miami player, and he will be missing for Denver in the upcoming game against Indiana.
Morris himself was fined $ 50,000 for the heinous offenses that led to Jukic's unusual response, while another Miami player, Jimmy Butler, was fined $ 30,000 for his attempt to escalate the events.

As you may recall, during the fourth quarter in the Nuggets' 96: 113 win over Miami, incumbent MVP Jukic was furious following a brutal offense committed by Morris, and in response pushed the player with his back to him.
The two were removed from the game and later in the day the brawl spread to social media when the brothers of the players started arguing and talking between them.
