Marcus Morris sends message to Nikola Jokic after flagrant shot on brother
By Evan Desai
Marcus Morris Sr. of the LA Clippers ended up being part of the story of Monday night’s Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets game.
Marcus’ brother Markieff ended up hard fouling Nikola Jokic at center court, and Jokic returned the favor by decking Markieff into oblivion.

Jokic was ejected from the game, and while the fans started “M-V-P” chants for their 2020-2021 NBA MVP, the Miami Heat were disgusted by what Jokic did. Jimmy Butler in particular was quick to try to stick up for his teammate.
"Bring that sh*t! Bring that sh*t! Bring yo ass to the back! Bring yo ass to the back! Let's go!"

It’s unclear as to why Butler thinks he’d have a chance against the 6’11,” 284-lb giant “Joker,” but he was not the only one who expressed these thoughts yesterday. Even Marcus Morris felt some type of way.

Marcus Morris Sr. seems eager for when the LA Clippers play against the Denver Nuggets on December 26th.
The crazy part about this is that Marcus Morris Sr. ended up not being the only brother involved.
Jokic’s brothers sent a message of their own to Marcus on Tuesday:
And they didn’t stop there, sending another Tweet to Marcus Morris three minutes later:
If anyone reading is wondering why people are making these tweets from the Jokic brothers into a big deal, it’s because the Jokic brothers look like this:

They’re another two Jokers, and unsurprisingly, many believe that Jokic and his brothers would unfortunately have quite the upper hand on the Morris bros.

The two Jokic brothers have been well-known for a long time due to their size and interest in fighting along with Jokic in the past.

Both times, it was not needed. Jokic, however, may face a suspension.

It appears, however, that Marcus Morris has settled down a little bit after discussing the incident with his mother.
Momma said don’t talk on social media no more! Well There you have it. I love you momma.

It looks like this situation may be cooling down here. Regardless, Marcus Morris and Jokic won’t be playing each other until the end of next month, when the Nuggets head to Staples.
Next. PG finally gets his recognition. dark
As for now, hopefully Marcus Morris is focused in on recovering from his knee injury and having a good return when he comes back.
