Joel Embiid on his back and forth with Montrezl Harrell: “I wouldn’t say I baited him into that (second tech) but I like to think that I’m a troll. I like to think I kind of made him get out of his comfort zone, and that got him kicked out… – 9:43 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid said Montrezl Harrell told him he wasn’t doing anything all game. Embiid added that he was surprised about that because he said he had “like 30 in 20 minutes at that point”. #Sixers9:32 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Montrezl Harrell has been ejected for shoving Joel Embiid and that’s not ideal with Beal, KCP and Neto all out due to protocols. – 7:52 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Montrezl Harrell then with a frustration push on Joel Embiid the next time down the floor after a putback and-1 and he will have an early shower. Some choice words for Embiid on his way off the court as Embiid laughed at the free throw line. – 7:51 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Montrezl Harrell has picked up his second technical of the game — this one for lightly shoving Joel Embiid — resulting in Harrell’s ejection from the game with 2:34 to go in the third quarter. – 7:50 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Montrezl Harrell has now been ejected with his 2nd technical. It looks like he was barking at Joel Embiid the entire time he was leaving the floor as well. Harrell didn’t like it at all. #Sixers7:50 PM

Joel Embiid didn’t like that foul from Montrezl Harrell. He had to let him know about it. – 7:45 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Joel Embiid vs. Montrezl Harrell steel cage match the rest of the game please – 7:44 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
You have 4.3 seconds left in the half off a made free throw and the play is for Montrezl Harrell to put up a 3. What? – 7:10 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wizards lead the Sixers 31-25 after the first quarter. Joel Embiid had 13 points, Montrezl Harrell had 11. – 6:43 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
That was one of Washington’s better offensive quarters of the season. The Wizards scored 31 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field on six assists and went 8 for 11 from the free-throw line Montrezl Harrell had a team-high 11 points. Washington leads Philly 31-25. – 6:40 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Joel Embiid has 8 points (layup, 3, and-1) in the first 2 minutes and Daniel Gafford picks up his second foul. Might be a long night for Washington as Montrezl Harrell has to check in early. – 6:15 PM
