ANALYSIS: 

It is no shock that Jokic was suspended a game and the Nuggets are likely thankful that their superstar will not be sitting for more.

Morris was fined for initiating the altercation with an initial flagrant 2 on Jokic with an elbow to the ribs at the end of the game, and Butler was fined for not complying with an NBA Security interview and attempting to escalate the conflict.
