- The league announced the discipline publicly via NBA Communications, and no additional team punishment or suspension has been reported.
- ClutchPoints, citing Sportsnet’s Danielle Michaud, reported that Ingram later expressed remorse and apologized to the attendant after initial social-media backlash questioned whether he had done so.
- The Raptors lost that game to the 76ers 130-120, then Ingram scored 25 in a 119-109 win at Brooklyn as coverage shifted to a lighter postgame moment with his partner, rapper GloRilla.
