Nuggets Coach David Adelman Ejected in Chippy Loss to Rockets

UPDATE: Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman was ejected for the first time in his NBA coaching career during a heated matchup against the Houston Rockets on October 28, 2023. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of a 115-101 loss, leaving fans and players stunned as tempers flared on the court.

Adelman, who took over the Nuggets just before last season’s playoffs, faced off against official Tyler Ricks after expressing frustration over questionable fouls against star player Nikola Jokic. “It felt like they had one foul with 5 minutes to go in the second quarter,” Adelman said, visibly upset. “Both teams were playing so hard, extremely hard, physical.”

With the Nuggets trailing 80-72 at the time of his ejection, Adelman had already received a technical foul earlier in the game. He later reflected on his emotional outburst, stating, “I let my emotions get the best of me.” His assistant, Jared Dudley, stepped in as head coach following the ejection.

The game’s intensity escalated as Kevin Durant of the Rockets and former teammate Bruce Brown engaged in a heated exchange. Brown described the verbal altercation as “disrespectful” and expressed eagerness for their next encounter. “As a man, there are certain things you don’t say to another man,” he stated.

On the officiating front, the game followed a controversial week for the Rockets. Coach Ime Udoka was fined $25,000 for publicly criticizing referees after a previous match against the Nuggets, which featured three incorrect calls favoring Denver, according to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report. Adelman, however, insisted that his ejection was not related to these events, praising lead official Marc Davis as “one of the best officials in the league.”

As the situation continues to develop, fans and analysts are left questioning the implications on both teams moving forward. The Nuggets and Rockets will not meet again until March, adding intrigue to their next potential showdown amidst rising tensions.

Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story as the NBA season progresses.
