Jaylen Brown had an early exit Tuesday night — and he didn’t wait long to voice his frustration.
The Celtics star was ejected in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s game against the Spurs after he received a double technical seemingly for arguing over the lack of a call against San Antonio’s Stephon Castle.
Brown, dribbling near the sideline, lost the handle of the ball as Castle guarded him, and possession was given to the Spurs. Brown took exception to the decision, immediately holding out his arms in disbelief.
Instead of really going back on defense, an incensed Brown yelled at referee Tyler Ford and the rest of the officiating crew, which eventually gave him a double technical and the early boot.
It marked just the second career ejection for Brown, according to ESPN.
Minutes after he was given the heave-ho, Brown took to X in what seemed like his way of voicing anger with what went down.

Brown had eight points, seven assists and two rebounds before exiting.
Largely without Jayson Tatum — who just returned from an Achilles tear on Friday — Brown has excelled this season at 28.7 points per game, which ranks sixth in the NBA.
