Overview
- Ejection followed a sequence where Brown appeared to be pushed out by Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, yet officials ruled the ball out on Brown and awarded possession to San Antonio.
- Crew chief Tyler Ford assessed the first technical for Brown’s protests, and Suyash Mehta issued a second moments later, triggering the automatic ejection with about 3:40 left in the second quarter.
- Teammates, team security, and coach Joe Mazzulla restrained Brown as he continued to argue before he exited through the tunnel.
- From the locker room, Brown posted on X, “This the shit I be talking about,” shortly after leaving the floor.
- Before being tossed, Brown had 8 points and 7 assists in roughly 14–15 minutes, and it marked just the second ejection of his career following a prior $35,000 fine for criticizing officiating in January.
