A wild scene played out during a game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, involving NBA stars Joel Embiid and Victor Wembanyama.
Embiid was ejected with 2:59 left in the second quarter after he argued an offensive foul call. He charged right through Wembanyama, who was set up in the middle of the lane. The NBA MVP got up and immediately argued with referee Jenna Schroeder.

The seven-time All-Star was irate after getting thrown out of the game for only the second time in his career. He had to be held back by teammate Kyle Lowry, head coach Nick Nurse and several assistant coaches.
Embiid has had a tough year.
Monday night’s game against the Spurs was only the eighth game he’s appeared in this season. He dealt with left knee soreness, a three-game suspension over an altercation with a reporter and a sinus fracture.
