After Jokic and Morris wrestled, Miami Heat defensive striker Jimmy Butler became the most active person on the court. Butler was videotaped chattering about Jokic after the incident, and it looked like he really wanted to let the defending MVP play in the melee cause him some pain.
As it turns out, this isn't butler's whole show. The Hot star really wanted revenge on Jokic, and as a result Butler led a group of Miami players all the way to the Denver Nuggets' big men to the locker room. There are also photographs as evidence of the event.
The photo above clearly shows Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry and several other Heat players waiting in the hallway. It looks like Butler also wants to know where Jokic was at the time. Security guards reportedly had to step in because they prevented Butler and his companions from confronting Jokic in the locker room.
This incident, which led to the expulsion of both Jokic and Morris, was absolutely boiling at this point. Jokic's brothers are already involved, as are Markif's twin brothers, Marcus Morris. They engaged in a war of words on Twitter, which seemed to hint at some threat of physical violence.
New York Knicks star Julius Randall unveiled a heartwarming commitment to New York City schools.
Randall visited the Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School in the Bronx and announced he would donate $500 to the high school's literacy and math intervention program for every three-pointer he scored this season.
Randle and the Knicks have another impressive season. Randall is averaging 22.5 points per game this season. The Knicks' record this season is 7-4.
The kids at ElMonro New Renaissance High School will be excited because Julius Randle is a pitcher who shoots 36.4 percent from three-point range. Randle hit a career-high 160 three-pointers last season and has hit 24 this year.
The Knicks played some great basketball, thanks in large part to Julius Randall's success. The former Los Angeles Lakers player moved to the New York Knicks after a stint with the New Orleans Pelicans. Randall took a big step in his career when he came to New York to become one of the best players in the NBA.
Julius Randall has always seemed like a good guy, and it makes more sense to do something like this than basketball. It's great to see a professional player pay off for the city he plays for. Hopefully, doing so will make other players in the NBA want to do something similar.
