Vucevic received back-to-back technical fouls late in the second quarter and was promptly ejected from the game.

In the second quarter during a fantastic start by the Chicago Bulls, the officials in Los Angeles ejected Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls big man fouled LeBron James before throwing his hands in the air and saying something to referee Sean Corbin. Then, Corbin administered Vucevic a technical foul as he walked back toward the Bulls' bench.

After still talking on the sideline while standing with Bulls' coaches, the refs proceeded to immediately hand Vucevic another technical foul and throw him out of the game.

The Montenegrin big man finished with four points (2/5 FG, 0/1 3PT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes. He was ejected for only the 2nd time in his career covering 815 games.

Vucevic played 30 minutes in Friday's blowout win over the Blazers, posting 23 points, 15 boards and four assists.
