In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert talk ejections, suspensions, injuries and rookie prowess. Among the topics discussed:

+ Is Nikola Jokic being unfairly refereed by officiating crews around the NBA? After getting ejected for the second time this season -- while shooting just six free throws per game — is there a case that the two-time MVP isn't receiving the same whistle as other stars?

+ Draymond Green is off to therapy after his latest heinous act on a basketball court. What is the reality of who he is at this point in his career?

+ Jamal Murray is closer to saying goodbye to a supermax contract as the injuries mount. Is it time for the Nuggets to take a step back and hold him out of more games to allow him time to fully heal? Or is this destined to be a recurring theme this season?

+ Bennett, who has been on the Julian Strawther train since day one, discusses his back-to-back games of note. Is he among the best Michael Malone-era rookies to date? His numbers seem to indicate the veteran-leaning coach is starting to trust the youngster.

+ A fresh batch of reader emails arrived in Matt's inbox ([email protected]), but no new iTunes reviews and an alarming lack of sponsorship dollars from the Northglenn boys basketball program.
