Jaylen Brown didn’t even make it through halftime before he was ejected during the Celtics’ loss to San Antonio Tuesday night.
He was clearly frustrated with the situation. His teammates also took issue with the way things were handled. Jayson Tatum said he disagreed with the referee’s decision.
With injuries, load management, and other issues keeping stars out of games, the NBA has had to take steps to address how little certain players are playing. They’ve recently added a 65-game requirement for players to be eligible for postseason awards.
On Tuesday night, with Brown, Tatum, and Victor Wembanyama healthy, Brown ended up missing most of the game after yelling at an official over what he felt was a missed call.
