Jimmy Butler Beware! Nikola Jokic’s Brothers in Attendance as Heat Face Nuggets Again

It was good news for the Denver Nuggets as their big star returns. After missing four straight games, the reigning MVP, Nikola Jokic makes his return. Moreover, he plays his comeback game against Miami Heat.

The last time he played against Miami, he was involved in one of the ugliest plays of the season when he shoved Markieff Morris from behind. While all that is in the past, there could be some retaliation from the Heat. To ensure that nothing happens, his brothers are there at the game.

Jokic has a very close bond with his brothers. It was evident from the playoffs last season where they made an appearance almost every game. However, they have made a name for themselves for being aggressive when Jokic is involved in any scuffle.

When Marcus Morris sent out a tweet to defend his twin brother, the brothers even made a Twitter account to warn Morris not to do so as they are watching.

Now, as Jokic returns, so do the brothers. They are present at the Miami game despite the warning from NBA veteran, Udonis Haslem.

Nikola Jokic and brothers all make their return

After suffering an injury, Jokic was sidelined for four straight games. During that time, the Nuggets clearly lacked a big presence losing their primary scorer and playmaker. Now that he is back, Jokic took no time in making his impact on the game.

Moreover, he even has the support of his brothers, who are right behind him.

Like other times, the Jokic brothers are also there at the game. They are sitting right behind the Denver bench to show support to their elder brother. For the warning, Haslem did his part and told them to not cause any trouble.

Jokic may be rusty after his return. However, the reigning MVP has seen no trouble in torching the Heat so far. He has accumulated 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists through three quarters.

He continues to dominate, nevertheless. The Nuggets have a comfortable lead as the Heat struggle without Jimmy Butler.
