NBA MVP Jokic knocks down opponents – and receives a mild penalty
Update Dallas With a nudge of frustration, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets knocked his opponent down angrily. The 26-year-old has now been given a mild sentence for his freaking out. The scene in the video.
Nikola Jokic, the most valuable player (MVP) in the North American professional basketball league NBA of the past season, has let himself be carried away with a tough attack. The Denver Nuggets center struck down opponent Markieff Morris in the game against Miami Heat (113: 96). The 26-year-old has now been banned from playing a game for his freak out. The Serb missed the home game of his Denver Nuggets on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers.
“It’s a stupid move,” said Jokic after the game, “I feel bad. I’m not allowed to react like that.” However, it was the answer to a “dirty” foul: “I had to protect myself.”
Morris, meanwhile, was fined $ 50,000 for his lead-up fouls. His teammate Jimmy Butler also had to pay a fine of $ 30,000 for “attempting to escalate the dispute,” as the NBA called it.
2:39 minutes were still on the clock when Jokic tried to pass a pass at the center line, but before that he got his elbow in the side of Morris. When Morris left, the Serb pushed him violently to the ground from behind and was disqualified. Before being expelled, Jokic recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.
