Overview
- Brown was ejected late in the second quarter vs. San Antonio after two technicals for arguing a no-call on a sideline turnover he believed involved a push by Stephon Castle.
- Crew chief Tyler Ford said the first technical was for aggressively pointing and using profanity, and the second was for aggressively approaching an official; the crew did not observe a foul on the play in live action.
- Official Suyash Mehta, not Ford, issued the second technical that triggered the automatic ejection.
- Boston lost 125-116; Brown had eight points and seven assists in 15 minutes, while Victor Wembanyama scored 39 with a career-tying eight 3-pointers.
- After posting frustration on X, Brown expanded his critique following the next game in Oklahoma City, arguing the league rewards foul-seeking tactics; Celtics figures Joe Mazzulla, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White also disputed the ejection, and no additional discipline has been reported.
