Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has reportedly been suspended one game for stepping onto the court to confront a referee during a game against the Lakers on Sunday.

According to the report from Marc J. Spears of ESPN, Malone will serve the ban on Monday night against Sacramento. Wes Unseld Jr. will coach the Nuggets in his place.

Malone and star Nikola Jokic were ejected when confronting referee Rodney Mott about a no-call.

Mott also called a technical foul on Denver guard Jamal Murray moments later in the second quarter after another no-call in the Nuggets' game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.

Jokic and two Lakers defenders made contact while the big man grabbed a rebound and missed two close shots at the basket. While the teams headed upcourt, Malone took two big steps onto the court and blocked the path of Mott, who swiftly ejected him.

Jokic joined in the argument, and Mott ejected him at the same time.
