"The All-Star wing was ejected with 3:38 left in the second quarter after being assessed a pair of technical fouls. Brown received both techs after arguing with the refs that he was fouled before stepping out of bounds on a turnover. Believing that he was fouled on the play in question by Spurs guard Stephon Castle while bringing the ball along the sideline, Brown aired out his grievances against referee Tyler Ford, earning a quick tech."
"Brown - who recorded eight points and seven rebounds in just 15 minutes of action against San Antonio before getting the hook - was not pleased after turning the ball over with 3:42 to go until halftime. Just a few seconds later - as Brown continued to argue with Ford - another ref, Suyash Mehta, whistled him for another technical, leading to an ejection."
"Brown's absence was felt in Boston's eventual 125-116 loss to San Antonio. The Celtics were already shorthanded with both Payton Pritchard (neck spasms) and Nikola Vucevic (finger fracture) unavailable. It marked the second ejection of Brown's 10-year NBA career; he was bounced from a game against the Knicks in 2023."
Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown was ejected with 3:38 remaining in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs after accumulating two technical fouls.

Seconds later, as Brown continued protesting to Ford, referee Suyash Mehta issued a second technical, resulting in ejection. Brown had recorded eight points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes before his removal. The Celtics lost 125-116, compounded by injuries to Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic. Brown expressed frustration on social media immediately following the ejection, marking his second career NBA ejection.
