On Wednesday night, NBA star Chris Paul was ejected from the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers for the second time in two weeks. Paul’s ejection was the result of a heated exchange with referee Scott Foster, continuing a feud between the two that has been ongoing since last season.
Paul was ejected in the fourth quarter after he received a technical foul for arguing with Foster. Paul had been called for a foul earlier in the game and was not happy with the call. He then began to argue with Foster, resulting in the technical foul and eventual ejection.
This is not the first time Paul and Foster have had a disagreement. Last season, Paul was fined $35,000 for verbally abusing Foster during a game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers. After the game, Paul said he had “lost his cool” and apologized for his actions.
Paul’s ejection on Wednesday has reignited the feud between him and Foster. Many fans and analysts have argued that Foster has been too quick to eject Paul in recent games, while others have argued that Paul needs to control his emotions better when arguing with referees.
Regardless of who is right or wrong in this situation, it is clear that Paul and Foster have a contentious relationship. It will be interesting to see if this feud continues into the future or if it will eventually cool off. In the meantime, fans can expect to see more heated exchanges between Paul and Foster whenever they face off in a game.
