Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid was ejected after confronting a female referee in the 76ers’ 111-106 victory over San Antonio in a wild Monday of NBA action.
An expected big-man showdown between Cameroonian Embiid and France’s Victor Wembanyama ended late in the first half, leaving Tyrese Maxey to produce 32 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in sparking the win.
“It’s big time,” Maxey said of getting the win for Embiid. “We’re learning to play without him... We’ve got to change the game, come a little faster, play a little harder and gain rebounds.”
Embiid came onto the court after the game and hugged Maxey after the guard’s late surge with a steal, dunk, 3-pointer and free throw in a game-ending 9-3 win to deliver the home triumph.
“It’s love, man,” Maxey said. “That has been my big brother for a long time.”
