If you're going to play dirty, just don't be the one to get caught.

Drama between reigning league MVP Nikola Jokić and Markieff Morris entertained NBA fans all day Tuesday after the Denver Nuggets big man gave the Miami Heat forward a healthy shove the night before.

Morris had delivered a cheap foul in the final minutes of the Nugget's 113-96 win, Jokić retaliated and Jimmy Butler got involved, too.

The beef intensified when Jokić's brothers hilariously made a twitter account just to trash talk Morris. This league.

The NBA on Tuesday announced a one-game suspension without pay for Jokić. Morris received a $50,000 fine for initiating the altercation with a Flagrant 2, and Butler was fined $30,000 for either having his Heat teammates back or escalating the situation -- depending on where your fandom lies.

Jokić will serve his suspension on Wednesday, Nov. 10 against the Indiana Pacers.
