Joel Embiid Ejected After Heated Exchange With Referee Jenna Schroeder in Sixers' Win Over Spurs

The Sixers overcame Embiid's ejection in a chaotic game featuring controversial calls and a standout performance by Tyrese Maxey.

Joel Embiid was ejected in the second quarter after receiving two technical fouls for a heated confrontation with referee Jenna Schroeder over a charging call involving Victor Wembanyama.
Referee Jenna Schroeder also faced scrutiny for initially ejecting Andre Drummond on a questionable call, which was later overturned, highlighting a night of officiating chaos.
Victor Wembanyama was called for an unsportsmanlike flop technical after a review showed incidental contact with Drummond, adding to the game's controversial moments.
Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers to a 111-106 victory with 32 points, including a crucial late-game three-pointer, while Victor Wembanyama posted 26 points, nine rebounds, and eight blocks for the Spurs.
The officiating decisions, including Embiid's ejection and the reversal of Drummond's technical foul, sparked widespread discussion about game management and referee performance.
