On Friday night, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Portland Trail Blazers by a score of 118-116.

However, they were playing without starting point guard Chris Paul for most of the night.

The future Hall of Famer was ejected in the first quarter.

Via Tom Orsborn of San Antonio Express-News: "Already without Castle, Collins, Johnson and Jones, Spurs lose Chris Paul after he gets hit with his second technical.

It's the second time in recent days they've been shorthanded and lost a player to an ejection."
