Nikola Jokić Suspended One Game After Shoving Miami’s Markieff Morris

NBA President of League Operations Byron Spruell announced Nikola Jokiu0107 will be suspended a single game without pay after shoving Miami's Markieff Morris to the floor from behind during Monday night's game.

The Nuggets center will miss Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Morris, though, did not get off free. He received a $50,000 fine for committing a Flagrant Foul 2 on Jokiu0107 that triggered the on-court altercation. Miami forward Jimmy Butler was also fined $30,000 "for attempting to escalate the altercation and failing to comply with an NBA Security interview," which was part of the review process for the altercation.
