QUESTION: What did Nikola Jokic do or say to warrant the first technical foul?

 

LINDSAY:  To be clear, Jokic was ejected after one technical foul because he directed profane language at the official that by our standards warranted an ejection.

 

QUESTION: Is that typical for an ejection to follow one technical foul?

 

LINDSAY: To be clear, Jokic was ejected after one technical foul.

 

QUESTION: Did he receive a warning between the first technical foul and the ejection?

 

LINDSAY:  Again, to be clear, Jokic was ejected after one technical foul.

 

QUESTION: Obviously the language was so strongly received that it warranted an ejection in your guy’s eyes?

 

LINDSAY:  We don’t typically publicly get into exactly what a player said, but the language reached the standard for an ejection.
