Nuggets coach Michael Malone was just as perplexed by Nikola Jokić’s ejection from Tuesday’s game versus the Bulls as the rest of the NBA fanbase.
Jokić was ejected in the second quarter of Denver’s 114—106 win over Chicago for arguing with an official about a no-call after he missed a shot at the rim. The official charged him with a technical foul and subsequently ejected him from the game, eliciting boos from the crowd and even disbelief from the Bulls announcers.
It’s believed that Jokić said to the official, “Motherf---er, call the f---ing foul,” according to multiple sources.
