Drummond returned to the court from the locker room after his second tech was rescinded, as officials instead assessed Wembanyama a technical foul for flopping. However, after 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey converted the ensuing free throw, that call on Wembanyama was also rescinded, and Philadelphia's extra point was removed.

It was the 76ers center's eighth game of the season out of a possible 27 so far.Despite his early exit, Embiid may have gotten the last laugh. Maxey hit a dagger three with 30 seconds to play that put Philadelphia up four, and the Spurs never got closer.Wembanyama, meanwhile, finished with a team-high 26 points in 37 minutes, adding nine rebounds, eight blocks, and four assists in San Antonio's loss.Asked about being the target of boos from the Philly faithful every time he touched the ball following Embiid's dismissal, Wembanyama was unruffled. "I've seen much, much worse, so this is nothing," Wembanyama said postgame, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.
