Just when it seemed the infamous Nikola Jokic–Markieff Morris feud had cooled off, new details have erupted — breathing fresh life into one of the NBA’s most talked-about altercations in recent memory.
This week, a new behind-the-scenes clip from the Denver Nuggets’ championship documentary surfaced on social media, revealing candid locker room conversations from Jokic and his teammates shortly after the 2021 incident. In the unseen footage, Jokic is shown discussing the Morris hit in raw, unfiltered language, calling the foul “a cheap shot that crossed the line” and admitting he “lost it for a second” in defending himself.
But that’s not all.
Fueling the fire even more, Marcus Morris — Markieff’s twin and fellow NBA player — responded to the clip with a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter): “Still noted.” Within minutes, the tweet began trending, with fans speculating about a possible rekindling of tensions. That speculation intensified when Jokic’s brothers, Nemanja and Strahinja, liked several fan tweets mocking the Morris twins, prompting many to wonder if another public exchange is looming.
NBA insiders now claim that the league has reached out privately to both camps in hopes of preventing any renewed drama from spilling into future games. With both players still active and their teams scheduled to meet in the next regular season, the timing of this new development couldn’t be more dramatic.
The original incident took place during a heated game between the Nuggets and Heat in November 2021. Markieff Morris delivered a hard foul to Jokic, who retaliated by shoving Morris from behind — a hit that sidelined Morris for several months. The resulting fallout led to social media threats and heated exchanges between the Morris twins and Jokic’s brothers, making headlines beyond the NBA world.
This latest twist has reignited interest in what was already one of the most intense personal conflicts in recent league history. TikTok and Instagram are buzzing with breakdowns of the new footage, and sports podcasts are speculating on what might happen if tensions boil over again.
While the league hopes cooler heads prevail, fans are watching closely. With social media reactions exploding and new footage adding fuel to the fire, the Jokic-Morris saga is once again dominating headlines.
It’s clear that this feud isn’t just a footnote in NBA history — it’s an ongoing story. And with new details erupting, it seems the final chapter has yet to be written.
