PHOENIX (AP) — Chris Paul's return to Phoenix ended in the second quarter on Wednesday night after the 12-time All-Star was ejected by his old nemesis: referee Scott Foster.
The Golden State Warriors guard and Foster have a long, acrimonious history, with the point guard complaining about Foster's officiating for nearly a decade.
Now Paul says that a years-old issue that involves his son is at least part of the reason for the friction.
Foster walked away but Paul kept yelling and the referee quickly turned and gave the point guard another technical, which caused the ejection.
Everybody gets frustrated out there, but that’s up to the official.”Warriors team personnel had to get between Paul and Foster before the guard left the court.
