During a recent game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks, an amusing incident unfolded involving Chris Paul and referee Matt Myers. The game, which ended in a 109-99 loss for the Warriors, took an unexpected turn when Paul received a technical foul from Myers.

 

The incident occurred late in the game when Paul vigorously argued for a foul call after being hit while going for a loose ball during an offensive play. Referee Matt Myers made the decision to issue a technical foul to Paul in response to his protest. Adding to the peculiar situation, Mavericks forward P.J. Washington Jr. also signaled for a technical foul to be given to Paul.

 

In response to the turn of events, Paul playfully mimicked the technical foul signal directly in front of Myers. Despite the light-hearted moment, Paul’s frustration was evident. He had been filling in for the injured Steph Curry in the starting lineup and concluded the game with nine points, shooting 4-of-12 from the field. Additionally, he contributed four assists and four rebounds during his 31 minutes of play.

 

As a seasoned NBA veteran with 18 years of experience, Paul may face consequences from the league for his actions. While it is possible that he may receive a financial penalty, Paul’s current salary of $30 million for the season suggests that he can comfortably handle any forthcoming repercussions.
