Overview

  • The league announced the $25,000 fine on Monday, two days after the episode occurred against the 76ers.
  • The incident came in the third quarter after Toronto’s second delay-of-game warning triggered a technical, when Ingram slammed a bottle that bounced up and hit a staffer and sprayed nearby personnel.
  • Broadcast footage circulated widely on social media and showed Ingram remaining seated as staffers cleaned the spill, with reports noting no apparent immediate apology.
  • Philadelphia beat Toronto 130-120; Ingram finished with 21 points and eight rebounds.
  • As of Monday, the Raptors had not issued a formal team statement, and the scrutiny lands in Ingram’s first full season with Toronto following his February 2025 trade.
