Chris Paul ejected after heated argument as beef with referee Scott Foster continues

Chris Paul ejected after heated argument as beef with referee Scott Foster In the second quarter of the Warriors’ 123-115 loss to the Suns on Wednesday night, Paul got into a heated argument with referee Scott Foster, who promptly ejected the star from the game.

The situation started in the final 23.2 seconds of the second quarter when Kevin Durant was looking to drive toward the net, but the play was stopped as Paul was called for a blocking foul.

As Durant got ready to shoot two free throws, Paul appeared to mimic Durant falling backward while he was discussing things with Foster.

After getting ejected, Paul continued to walk toward Foster, but Steph Curry grabbed Paul’s right arm in order to restrain him from doing anything further.

In the middle of the fray, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also was given a technical.

“I didn’t think Chris deserved to be ejected,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the Warriors’ loss. “The first tech? Absolutely. But I thought the second one was unnecessary. Everybody gets frustrated out there, but that’s up to the official.”
