"On the Boston offensive possession before the technical fouls, Brown appeared to stumble out of bounds while being guarded by Spurs point guard Stephon Castle resulting in a turnover. Brown argued vociferously with official Tyler Ford on the way down to the other end of the court that Castle pushed him out of bounds. Ford eventually whistled Brown for a technical foul."
"The Celtics guard continued to argue with Ford, as official Suyash Mehta promptly whistled Brown for another technical foul as teammate Sam Hauser stepped in to restrain his teammate. The second technical foul resulted in Brown's ejection. The Celtics owned a 51-49 lead at the time of Brown's ejection."
"It didn't take long for the five-time NBA All-Star to post his thoughts about the ejection on social media, saying on X that 'this the s--- I be talking about.' It's unclear if Brown was talking about the game's officiating; Brown has been critical of officials this season, and he was fined $35,000 by the NBA in January for postgame comments about referees."
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was ejected during the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs after accumulating two technical fouls. Brown turned the ball over while being defended by Spurs point guard Stephon Castle and argued with official Tyler Ford that he was pushed out of bounds. Ford issued the first technical foul, but Brown continued disputing the call, prompting official Suyash Mehta to assess a second technical foul, resulting in ejection. At the time of ejection, the Celtics led 51-49. Brown finished with eight points, two rebounds, and seven assists in 13 minutes. He later posted on social media expressing frustration about the incident.
