Watch the sequence below to see how Jordan was ejected from the game.
The commentators argued that the call may be an illegal screen, but all 30 teams in the NBA execute their offense similarly.

How has DeAndre Jordan played this season?
DeAndre Jordan is regarded as the ultimate veteran teammate by most of the players he's played with. Jordan's cool and calm composure has helped the team focus on the goal at hand. Which is why seeing him get ejected from the game for complaining is usually an odd occurrence.
This season, he's done a spectacular job as the team's center for the second unit. Jordan's minutes are down this season, from 15 minutes during their championship season to 13.4 for this year's campaign. Still, he's focused and has similarly impacted the team.
Through 17 games this season, Jordan has averaged 5.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and an assist. The three-time All-NBA center has started one game this year and made the most of his chances. During the game where he started over reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic, he had 21 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists.
What's impressive about his rebounding is that he had three offensive rebounds that night against the LA Clippers.
Jordan has continued to be the team's veteran voice. Thanks to him, the Nuggets were able to win the title last season and overcome their opponents. He may not put up a significant amount of points, but the two-time All-Defensive big man brings an encouraging energy to the team.
Guess the Lakers players!
