NBA Star Joel Embiid Ejected After Confronting Female Referee

Embiid was given a third foul against him by referee Jenna Schroeder when he charged Victor Wembanyama, knocking the Frenchman to the floor with two minutes and 59 seconds remaining of the first half. The 76ers player argued the call with Schroeder and then had to be restrained from the official as he ripped off his protective face mask and continued his protests, leading to two technical fouls and his ejection from the match. Earlier on, Schroeder's decision to eject Philadelphia's Andre Drummond for two technical fouls following a challenge on Wembanyama had been overturned. It was a wild first half," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said. Tyrese Maxey produced 32 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists to inspire Philadelphia to victory, while Wembanyama managed 26 points, nine rebounds and eight blocked shots.
