Danny Abdia speaks after the game against Toronto (Wizards' Twitter account)

After the blows on the field, the NBA management returned its own blow: Denver star and last season's MVP, Nikola Jukic, was sent off for one free game after his brutal push of Miami player Markif Morris in a game between the teams on Monday night.

The Nuggets will have to make do without their star in the game against Indiana on Wednesday night, with the suspension costing Yukic $ 210,417 to be deducted from his salary.

Morris himself, on the other hand, was fined $ 50,000, following the violent offense he committed against Jukic, which led to the eruption of the Serbian chin.

Another Miami player who has been fined is Jimmy Butler, who after the commotion on the floor tried to ignite the winds.

Butler was fined $ 30,000 when cameras recorded him cursing Jukic and urging him to continue the brawl off the field.

In a game in which Denver defeated Miami 96: 113, Jukic was sent off 2:39 minutes to go, after suffering a severe blow to the ribs from Morris and reacting angrily when he pushed him from behind and slammed him on the floor.

As expected, a commotion developed on the parquet.

The storm took to Twitter when Markif's brother, Marcus Morris, who plays for the Clippers, tweeted: "Did you wait until my brother turned his back on you? I signed up."

On the other hand, Nikola Jukic's brothers - Nemanja and Strahinia - interpreted this as a threat and responded from a Twitter account called "Jokic Brothers" (an account opened yesterday): "It is better that you leave things as they are instead of publicly threatening our brother. "If you want to take it one step further, we'll wait for you."

Markif himself was severely criticized for his offense, responding: "I like to see all the hatred I get. I have certainly committed a tough offense, as I always do, but I will never hit someone who turns their back on me. Luckily, we are built differently here. I can snatch and keep pushing forward. "

It should be noted that Jukic himself expressed remorse for the push, saying: "It's a silly move. I feel bad. I should not react like that. It was a dirty move, and I had to defend myself ... I do not remember who showed me the video of it. "But I felt bad, his head really turned back."

Miami coach Eric Spolstra said "this is a dangerous move".
