Warriors’ Chris Paul Ejected for “TikToker” Comment in Final Seconds

However, a single technical foul isn’t enough to eject a player from the game. Merely seventeen seconds after his initial remark, Paul’s subsequent comment to Brothers about having “too much power” resulted in his ejection.

Following the game, Paul highlighted his comment by sharing a related TikTok on his Instagram story. In the video clip, Brothers is a guest on a podcast, admitting he “doesn’t care too much for basketball.” Still, instead, he enjoys being the judge, jury, prosecuting attorney, and defense attorney on an NBA court.

Paul acknowledged that his comments were likely to lead to his ejection but also noted the relative triviality of the offense. He speculated on the possibility of the league overturning the second technical and, by extension, the ejection and its accompanying automatic fine, though he doubted such an outcome.

Paul has a long history with NBA officials, with his most heated “rivalry” being with Scott Foster that many consider as being a “personal beef” between the two.
