DENVER (AP) — Nuggets guard Andre Miller has been ejected from Monday night’s game for arguing an offensive foul call late in the third quarter.

Miller was called for an offensive foul with 31 seconds left in the third quarter and Denver leading Minnesota 76-69. He argued the call and drew a technical from official Nick Buchert. After Kevin Love hit the free throw, Miller continued to talk and Buchert hit him with the second technical.

The Nuggets were already playing without starting point guard Ty Lawson, who sprained his ankle in the first half. Rookie Julyan Stone replaced Miller.
