Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul was ejected from the game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday after getting a pair of technical fouls at the end of the second quarter. He said after the game that he and the referee, Scott Foster, have something “personal”.

“We had a situation some years ago and it’s personal,” said Paul. “The league knows. Everybody knows. There’s been a meeting and all that. It’s just a situation with my son.”

One reporter tried to ask for more details, but Paul just continued to say that it was a personal issue that “everybody” knows about, giving no further details. But it’s clear that there is something going on there, as Paul’s former teams lost 13 games in a row in which Foster was the main official and has a 3-17 playoff record in games that Foster officiated. The Suns ended up winning the game, 123-115.

“I’ve got to do a better job at staying there for my teammates, but it is what it is,” said Paul. “I’ll probably see him in a Game 7 sometime soon. That’s how it always works out with him.”
