VIDEO: Joel Embiid Had To Be Held Back From Fighting Female Ref After Getting In Her Face During Wild Scene At 76ers-Spurs Game
Joel Embiid was ejected for the second time in his career on Monday night and went berserk.
The Philadelphia 76ers star was thrown out of a game against the San Antonio Spurs after getting called for an offensive foul on Victor Wembanyama and arguing a bit too much.
Embiid got really heated after being assessed a technical foul and jumped in the female referee’s face, but she didn’t even flinch.
“Joel Embiid jumped in that woman ref’s face when she called the tech and she didn’t flinch AT ALL,” the Hater Report account captioned a video of the incident.

Fans Pointed Out That The Ref Had No Reason To Be Afraid Of Joel Embiid
Fans correctly pointed out that the ref had no reason to be afraid of Embiid. It’s not like he would ever hit her (we hope).
“nobody is afraid of him, what he gonna do? flop on her?” one asked.
“No one is scared of a free throw merchant. Embiid is soft soft,” another stated.
“Everyone knows Embiid is just all talk 😭 and they know better than to put hands on a woman,” another noted.
The ref had previously tossed Embiid’s teammate Andre Drummond but brought him back on after admitting her mistake.
