Other fans, however, thought that this was a fair ejection. Vucevic was definitely getting heated at the official during the time of his ejection.
Deserved

Some people simply criticized the referees. This season, there has been an increase in the number of fans and players alike who complain about the referees.
We all know everyone came to see those refs. Not Lebron's return, not the Bulls' trio, not AD, but those refs.

It will be interesting to see if the Chicago Bulls end up winning the game in spite of Nikola Vucevic’s ejection. He definitely does a lot for their offense as a stretch center, but perhaps they’ll manage to do without him.
As of right now, Nikola Vucevic is averaging 17.7 PPG, 11.3 RPG, and 3.3 APG for the Chicago Bulls. There’s no doubt that he is having a good season, and it’ll be interesting to see what he does in free agency this season.
Nikola Vucevic Previously Thought The Bulls Wouldn’t Be Able To Turn Their Season Around
There is no doubt that the Bulls have had an inconsistent year, and they are back in the play-in tournament picture. However, it definitely looked different for them a few weeks ago, and Nikola Vucevic previously thought that the team wouldn’t be able to turn their season around.
โMaybe 30 games ago, but now itโs hard to look at it that way. It doesnโt really depend on us anymore. I mean, it does. We have to win. But weโre depending on the people in front of us, on how they do. So itโs hard to say after 65 games we didnโt figure it out. Itโs tough to believe that somethingโs just going to (click) like that. Weโll see. Weโre going to keep fighting, keep hoping something happens. But itโs obvious weโve put ourselves in a very difficult spot now.โ
It is clear that Nikola Vucevic probably thinks differently now, and the Chicago Bulls will have a chance to make the playoffs this season if they advance through the play-in tournament.
Hopefully, we see Nikola Vucevic continue to play well, as he will be key to the Chicago Bulls making the playoffs this season. He has had a bounce-back season this year, and perhaps he will continue to be elite offensively in the postseason.
