76ers star Joel Embiid ejected for arguing with officials after crashing into Victor Wembanyama in win over Spurs

Joel Embiid's second game back from his sinus fracture didn't go well.

Embiid erupted and berated an official just before halftime of their 111-106 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Things got so bad at one point that it took multiple 76ers teammates and assistant coaches to hold him back before he left the floor.

Just before halftime at Wells Fargo Center, Embiid drove right at Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and crashed into him uncontrollably at the free throw line. Wembanyama drew the charge, and Embiid was livid.

He jumped up and immediately started yelling at the official, which earned him the first technical foul.
