Steph Curry Reveals Message to Scott Foster After Chris Paul Ejection

The Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul and NBA referee Scott Foster have a lengthy relationship. Foster introduced a new chapter to his hatred with Paul by ejecting Paul from Wednesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns following two rapid technical fouls. The Warriors, unsurprisingly, were not amused.

“I think we were down double digits already, and we obviously needed CP and his leadership and the way he manages the game,” Warriors star Steph Curry said in an interview with reporters following the game.

I don’t like and respect it when the player and the referee converse; I know there’s history and everything; I know he said it. But, that conversation needs to kind of end there. After he kicked him out, I told Scott that. I am aware of specific instances where players go too far. But I don’t enjoy it when both of them are engaged. When I was viewing it, that was the section that confused me the most. Two guys were conversing and expressing their truths. Just let’s have some basketball.”

Everyone seems to be aware that Foster and Paul have a personal relationship, which shouldn’t influence the official’s decision to call a game. Curry acknowledges this as well, but he took issue more with the fact that Foster and Paul were conversing at the time, which the star guard feels shouldn’t have led to an ejection.
