It seems on-court altercations seem to follow Brooklyn Nets forward Markieff Morris wherever he goes. 

On Tuesday, Morris got into a near-skirmish with Jeremy Sochan of the San Antonio Spurs. It began with Morris trying to run through Sochan in the paint. It ended with Sochan putting Morris on the ground with a semi-body slam. 

 "He actually did like a wrestling move on me," Morris said. "I said that's impressive, I told him. It was impressive because he used a lot of force & he kind of flipped me. He got me.” 

Sochan added, "Just being a little cheeky is something I do."

It was two years ago when Morris was involved in an incident with Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. After a Morris elbow, Jokic responded by tackling him from behind. The play caused Morris, who sustained a neck injury, to miss 58 games.
