It took Timberwolves rookie Rashad McCants six NBA games to get ejected.

McCants, known for his questionable attitude and being enigmatic in college, had his best game offensively before being ejected in the fourth quarter Sunday night after picking up two technical fouls.

With 4 minutes, 40 seconds left in the game against the Denver Nuggets, McCants posted up Andre Miller, pivoted and dunked over Marcus Camby, who had rotated over to help on the play.

McCants shoved Camby in the back after the dunk, and the rookie was automatically ejected for his second technical of the game. Coach Dwane Casey said McCants' move was "clearly a taunt."

After the game, a 102-91 loss for the Wolves, McCants said he was not trying to show up Camby.

"When I dunked it, I came down and he had bumped into me and I was going forward and he was going out, and I just got a tech," McCants said. "There's nothing I can do about it, just keep playing and keep my mouth shut from here on out. ? I was just trying to show emotion to pump my team up. We were down. I was trying to give us a boost of energy."
