Chicago Bulls centre Joakim Noah has apologised for his outburst at the officials after being ejected during his team's loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.

The 28-year-old was ejected in the third quarter after picking up a second technical foul, and he later unleashed his anger upon the three referees.

"I'm really disappointed. I shouldn't have acted that way, I apologise. I hope they accept my apology and I hope I can move on from this," he said, ESPN reports.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau believes that Noah will not receive a suspension as a result of his rant, but the league has yet to make an announcement.
