While many were focused on the Michael Malone suspension, many overlooked Nikola Jokic’s ejection which was rescinded by the league.

The Nuggets had a rough night the other night in Los Angeles which saw their head coach and their star player ejected at the same time.

The NBA suspend head coach, Michael Malone one game, which he served when Denver battled his old squad, Sacramento.

However, many forget the league did the right thing by rescinding the bogus Nikola Jokic ejection.

Many fans were talking about the Michael Malone suspension, but it was surprising to see not many focus on the league actually taking the proper course of action when it came to Jokic and wiping his slate clean.

Jokic has always had a bit of a temper in his short career, but when he was ejected, he had every right to argue or ask for an explanation considering he was fouled not once, but twice with no whistle.

Did his action against official warrant a technical foul at the least? Most likely. But an ejection? That is crossing the line and it really showed just how thin skinned Rodney Mott truly is and why he does not deserve a job in the association.

It is good to see the NBA actually seeing the correct side of this controversy when it came to Jokic and giving him his due on justice.

Jokic is considered by many NBA peers to be the Nuggets’ best player now and by throwing him out of the game, Denver’s hopes of a comeback in that particular match up exited along with Coach Malone and Nikola into the Nuggets’ locker room.

Next: Rodney Mott needs fired

While it is nice to the ejection rescinded, Denver still will not have correct justice until the league terminates Rodney Mott’s NBA reffing contract once and for all.
