Chris Paul Ejected After Two Technical Fouls in Spurs vs. Trail Blazers Game

The veteran guard's early dismissal left the short-handed Spurs relying on Victor Wembanyama to lead the team to victory.

Chris Paul was ejected from the San Antonio Spurs' game against the Portland Trail Blazers after receiving two technical fouls within 11 seconds during the first quarter.
Paul's second technical foul followed a reported comment to the referee, allegedly saying, 'YOU ACTING LIKE THE POLICE.'
The Spurs entered the game with only 11 players available due to injuries, including key absences like Stephon Castle, Zach Collins, Keldon Johnson, and Tre Jones.
Victor Wembanyama stepped up as the primary leader for the Spurs following Paul's ejection, helping the team capitalize on the momentum shift.
Fans and commentators criticized Paul's behavior, questioning his maturity and leadership as a 20-year NBA veteran.
