Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was ejected in the first half of Monday night's game against San Antonio after drawing two technical fouls. Referee Jenna Schroeder ejected Embiid with 2:59 left in the second quarter. The seven-time All-Star received the first technical for arguing with Schroeder, and received another technical - and ejection - from Schroeder before any more game time elapsed.

Embiid was close to Schroeder, but it wasn´t clear from replays whether he made contact with the official. An enraged Embiid charged toward the officials after the ejection and was restrained by teammate Kyle Lowry, coach Nick Nurse and several assistants.

NBA broadcaster Stephanie Ready slammed Embiid's conduct as she spoke over the replay on television, saying: 'It's a foul, every which way. You can see he is up disputing it, she is trying to discuss it calmly and he goes off. 'Technical foul, and now look. He approaches and steps to her as if he wants to have a physical confrontation, which I have a problem with. He has to be restrained. He is now out of the game. I have a lot to say, as a woman.'.
