Gregg Popovich’s night Wednesday lasted all of 1 minute, 3 seconds.

The Spurs coach was ejected from San Antonio’s game in Denver just over a minute into the first quarter, apparently upset over a non-call on the NuggetsPaul Millsap.

Millsap was defending LaMarcus Aldridge in the post. Aldridge turned around for a short jumper with Millsap in his face and missed the attempt. Popovich shot out of his chair on the bench complaining, then called a timeout and continued to protest the non-call to official Mark Ayotte.

Popovich was hit with two technical fouls and shown the door. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray made one of two free throws to give Denver an early 6-0 lead.

It marked the second time this week Popovich was ejected. He got tossed after arguing with officials in the third quarter of San Antonio’s 113-106 home loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

The Spurs entered the day tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth seed in the Western Conference at 45-33.
