In an emergency edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer and deputy sports editor Matt Schubert discuss the Nikola Jokic-vs.-Markieff Morris melee with photojournalist AAron Ontiveroz.

Ontiveroz was on site when a Nuggets blowout over the Heat turned ugly Monday night at Ball Arena, devolving into chaotic scenes both on the court and in the back hallways. The fracas spilled over onto social media in the early morning hours Tuesday, as Marcus Morris and the Jokic brothers traded threats on Twitter and the rest of the sports world weighed in.

So what’s next for the league’s reigning MVP? Is a suspension inevitable? Does Jokic have a hair trigger that needs to be checked? How much responsibility should be laid at the feet of Markieff Morris? The crew discusses that and more.
