"NBA should suspend this flopper": Fans go wild after Joel Embiid gets ejected from marquee battle with Victor Wembanyama's Spurs

Social media erupted after Joel Embiid was ejected during the Philadelphia 76ers' high-profile matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. The incident unfolded in the second quarter when Embiid collided with Victor Wembanyama while attempting an offensive play with three minutes remaining.

Hoping to draw a foul, Embiid was instead called for a charge, a decision that clearly didn’t sit well with the Sixers star. The one-time MVP voiced his displeasure, earning a technical foul in the process.

However, Embiid didn’t hold back and continued his heated exchange with the referee, resulting in a second technical and an ejection from the game. Visibly furious, Embiid had to be restrained from confronting the official further.

Fans dropped unfiltered reactions as soon as the Sixers center was ejected from the game.

"The NBA should suspend this flopper," a fan commented.

"Embiid will really do anything to stay off the court," said a fan.

"We were all looking forward to Embiid vs Wemby but nope these refs wanna make it abt them this league is so cooked," another user wrote.

"Nah Embiid might be the new Roy Hibbert, he be on the ground for no reason lol," a user commented.

"Joel has to keep his cool but it has been an absolute ref show in Philly tonight," another user said.

"I hate Embiid but this official is too damn soft to be in these games if this is all takes to get him thrown out," commented another.
