Fans are outraged after Denver Nuggets superstar big man Nikola Jokic was booted from Monday night’s road game against the Detroit Pistons. They’ve already vented their rage over the two-time NBA MVP’s dismissal on social media, with a variety of replies.

“nikola jokic ejected, and the PISTONS announcers say “these fans didn’t come here tonight to witness curtis blair, tre maddox, or andy nagy – whatever they are” embarrassing display by the league’s officials,” tweeted @fastbreakbreak.

“In this game, Michael Malone and Nikola Jokic were both disqualified… Unreal. “These refs’ disrespect for Jokic is sickening,” remarked @JeremyNicolls.

From @murray_center27 on Twitter: “I mean I can’t lie it genuinely seems like the NBA referees have a vendetta against Nikola Jokic.”

“Jokic was ejected for something Draymond Green does 20 times a game,” @DeanScorpion_ added.

Jokic was ejected with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter. He had already received a technical foul, thus the second one automatically prevented him from playing the rest of the Pistons game. Nikola Jokic had nine points on 4-for-8 shooting from the field, five rebounds, five assists, and a block in 15 minutes of action before leaving the court.

It’s also worth remembering that Nuggets head coach Michael Malone was removed early in the game after picking up two technical fouls.

The defending NBA champs came into Monday’s game hoping to snap a two-game losing run, while the Pistons were coming off a heartbreaking 11-game winless stretch.
