Joel Embiid Screams In Female Ref’s Face, Gets Ejected
NBA superstar Joel Embiid was ejected from a game Monday night … after he relentlessly screamed in the face of a female ref.
The unnerving scene went down in the second quarter of the 76ers’ tilt with the San Antonio Spurs … after Embiid was whistled for an offensive foul.

The Philadelphia big man, wearing a mask to protect a sinus injury he suffered earlier this month, was so livid over the call, he raced to Jenna Schroeder and began melting down. He yelled at the woman repeatedly — at one point getting mere inches from her nose.
Schroeder didn’t take long to eject Embiid for his behavior — although that only enraged him more. Thankfully, the Sixers center’s teammates separated him before things escalated further.
Embiid’s Sixers were able to secure the victory without him — notching a 111-106 win … and Joel actually came out of the locker room after the game to celebrate with his squad on the court.
No word from NBA officials on if Joel — who left the arena without meeting with reporters — will face any further punishment for his antics.
