Chris Paul's Viral Instagram Post After Warriors-Suns Game

Chris Paul made a post to Instagram after the Golden State Warriors lost to the Phoenix Suns.

On Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona.   

Despite the Warriors making the game close in the final seconds, the Suns won by a score of 123-115.

Chris Paul, who was with the Suns for the previous three seasons before getting traded to the Warriors over the offseason, got ejected during the first half.   

He finished his night with six points, two rebounds and six assists while shooting 1/2 from the field in 17 minutes of playing time.

After the game, Paul made a post to Instagram.

Paul captioned his post: "Thank you to The Valley for 3 AMAZING years!!!

My apologies for the early exit tonite…..🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️"

When Paul joined the Suns in 2020, they had missed the NBA playoffs for ten straight seasons. 

During his time with the franchise, they made the NBA Finals in 2021 (and the playoffs in all three years).
