It was only a matter of time before the league addressed the incident between Rodney Mott and Nuggets head coach, Michael Malone. Malone was ejected for rightfully getting into Rodney Mott’s face when let Jokic get fouled multiple times on put backs in which he refused to blow the whistle.
Coach Malone did end up making contact with Mott which warranted the immediate ejection, but what made no sense was him ejecting Nikola Jokic for simply arguing the call. The NBA actually rescinded the ejection, but we will delve on that later in a different article.
Head coach Michael Malone received word on November 20 from the NBA that he will be suspended a total of one game.
