Ingram sat on the bench and watched the staff, including the man he punched in the face, clean up the mess he made.
It was unclear whether Ingram apologized for the outburst. He was then trashed on social media for apparent immaturity.
He had 21 points and eight rebounds in 37 minutes as the 76ers won the game, 130-120.

The 76ers went up by nine points with 1:25 left and didn’t look back from there. Embiid had 29 points in the win. Tyrese Maxey had 31.
Ingram joined the Raptors in the offseason on a three-year deal reportedly worth $120 million. He is averaging 21 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4 assists in 10 games for Toronto.
