Nuggets coach Michael Malone ejected, held back by Nikola Jokic in loss to 76ers

Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was ejected on Thursday night at Ball Arena, and had to be held back by Nikola Jokic briefly as he charged at the official who threw him out.

Malone, in the third quarter of their 103-89 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, got upset after 76ers guard Seth Curry picked up a foul on the floor under the rim.

Malone rushed out onto the floor, and had to be held back by Jokic after picking up two quick technicals before he finally walked off the court and into the locker room.
