It was uncalled of from Morris. He should have never hit Nikola Jokic in the first place. Morris did start the situation and due to how hard Jokic hit him back, they both will probably get a lengthy suspension.

This is going to be a much bigger loss for the Nuggets as they are going to lose their MVP player. Denver is now going to be without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. Porter was injured recently while he was going up for a layup attempt. The Nuggets said that they don't have a timetable for his return.

Shaq and Charles are two of the best to lace them up in NBA history. Their response here shows what most of the world would do. When you hit somebody you have to expect to be hit back. They will both deal with the suspension and hopefully when they face off against each other later in the season, nothing happens.
