NBA star Klay Thompson became the subject of mockery after he was ejected mid-game at the Footprint Center, during the Golden State Warriors game against the Phoenix Suns on October 25, 2022. While the Suns defeated the Warriors, what was not expected was for the Warriors to lose the game with such a vast difference in points. The Suns scored 134 points, whereas the Warriors managed 105 points.

The game held on Tuesday night was rather an eventful one. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry scored a fair amount as he averaged 21 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds. Behind him was Jordan Poole, who scored 17 points with 5 assists and 2 rebounds. Additionally, Andrew Wiggins managed 16 points, 3 assists, and 6 rebounds.

On the other hand, the Suns did pretty well in winning the game by 29 points. Devin Booker had the highest score in the game with 34 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds. Backing Booker up was Mikal Bridges and Jock Landale who each scored 17 points. Additionally, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton each helped secure the win by scoring 16 points each.

The performance by the Warriors turned out to be a disappointment to the fans. However, it was Klay Thompson who became the primary target of criticism due to his actions.

Klay Thompson gets ejected from the game

The Golden State Warriors were already struggling to keep up with the score difference. However, during the third quarter, Klay Thompson got ejected for committing two consecutive technical fouls. Notably, this was the first ejection Thompson faced in his entire NBA career. Throughout the third quarter, Thompson was in a verbal duel with the Phoenix Suns‘ Devin Booker. The two committed double technical fouls when they bumped chests during the last few minutes of the quarter.

But the matter didn’t end there for the five-time All-Star. As he was walking away from Booker, Suns player Mikal Bridges ran into Thompson, who in response shoved Bridges and ended up getting his second technical. This led to Thompson’s ejection from the game. When Thompson was walking out of the court, he looked towards the Suns’ bench and made a gesture that fans speculated might have meant, ‘only time will tell’.

The Twitterati then worked their magic as they came forth to comment on the incident. While some tweeted in support of Thompson, others commented that Stephen Curry and former Warriors player Kevin Durant were the ones who carried Thompson.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stated that Thompson has been struggling with having to play under the minutes restrictions due to health issues. Furthermore, Kerr stated that the team has a lot to work on.

“We lost our way. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’re not a finished product, by any means…we’re nowhere close to where we need to be right now. We’re a very poor defensive team and that doesn’t win in this league,” said Kerr.
