Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris and Nikola Jokic's brothers have a feud brewing. It spilled onto Twitter. Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic was ejected in the Denver Nuggets win over the Miami Heat Monday. Nuggets star Nikola Jokic took a cheap shot at Heat forward Markieff Morris.

Jokic came flying from behind Morris and trucked him, as shown by Bally Sports Sun: Heat.

A stretcher was brought onto the court out of precaution. Heat star Jimmy Butler took exception. He was seen yelling and gesturing for someone to come at him.

Morris reportedly suffered a neck injury and further tests will be done.

The game was well in hand. There were only a couple minutes remaining and the Nuggets up 17. The action prompted Markieff's brother, Marcus, to respond online. He posted his thoughts on twitter.

CBS Sports' Jack Maloney quoted Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra after the game:

“That was a very dangerous, dirty play… I thought Keef took a foul and it was one of those fast-break take fouls. And he did it with his shoulder. You might deem that maybe as a little bit more than just the slapping stuff. Right after I watched it on film, it was a take foul. That's how I saw it. And the play after that, that's just absolutely uncalled for.”

You cannot attack a player from behind like that. There is no place in the game for that type of play, regardless of the reason.
