Two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic was ejected from Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Bulls in the second quarter. Jokic was whistled for a technical foul and thrown out by official Mousa Dagher after he said something in the direction of a referee.

The 7-foot center seemed confused by the sequence before making his way off the court. Jokic finished with four points, nine rebounds and six assists.

Tuesday night's game is Denver's only scheduled visit to the United Center this season, and the crowd seemed to register its displeasure with the decision to throw Jokic out.

It was a tough blow for a short-handed Denver team that was coming off a 129-122 victory at Atlanta on Monday night. Jamal Murray, who had 29 points and nine rebounds in that victory, was held out because of issues with his ankles.
