Nuggets center Nikola Jokiu0107 was ejected from Denver's win over the Heat on Monday night after he shoved Miami forward Markieff Morris in the fourth quarter.
Jokiu0107 was bumped by Morris with over two minutes left in regulation as Denver held a 111-94 lead. But rather than ignore the contact, Jokiu0107 quickly retaliated, giving Morris a hard shove to the floor. A stretcher was initially taken out, but Morris did walk off with the help of Miami medical staff.
Both Jokiu0107 and Morris were ejected from Monday's contest. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra addressed the incident postgame, calling Jokiu0107's shove a "dangerous, dirty play.
