‘Better Stay in Line’: Udonis Haslem Sends a Warning to Nikola Jokic’s Brothers After Reported Threats
Nikola Jokic is one of the finest players in the NBA right now. His tall stature helps him to surpass most guards in the league. Likewise, the reigning MVP is displaying all his talents in this season as well.
He hasn’t been playing for the past couple of games after an injury. However, it seems like a player has sent a warning to Jokic’s brothers to not cause trouble in his city.
While Jokic is a quiet personality on the floor most of the time, things took a turn overnight. His shove on Markieff Morris shocked the NBA world. He even received a penalty from the league for his actions.
After Markieff’ s twin brother, Marcus Morris came to his defense, Jokic’s brothers retaliated. They made a Twitter account and asked Morris to stay away from their brother.
Similar to Jokic, his brothers are strong and tall individuals. That doesn’t matter to Udonis Haslem who warns them about his city, Miami.

Nikola Jokic and brothers face a warning?
Haslem is a veteran in the league. His role as a player coach with the Heat has extended for a couple of seasons. He has been a part of the team for his entire career.
After the incident with Jokic and Morris, Haslem seems to not want more trouble in Miami. Pointing at the Jokic brothers, he sent them a chilling warning.
Haslem said: “That’s over with. I don’t have nothing to do with that. I keep hearing about the Jokic brothers buying tickets to come to the game. They better stay in line and don’t come down there and start trouble. Miami is my city. It’s my city.”

The Jokic brothers have had a history of defending their brother. In the playoffs last season, the brothers were seen heckling at Devin Booker following Jokic’s ejection. Hence, Haslem seems to have seen enough of them and issued a strict warning.
Being in Miami for all his career, it is clear why he doesn’t want any more trouble.
