PHILADELPHIA — The Orlando Magic‘s Jalen Suggs was ejected with 27 seconds left in the first half of Tuesday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers after receiving two technicals during a heated altercation between the teams.
Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond pulled on the jersey of Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr., leading to a shoving match between the two near the Magic’s free throw line, though no punches were thrown.
Suggs came in and shoved Drummond. Philadelphia’s Jabari Walker got in between the players, and Suggs then took issue with Walker, leading to more pushing and shoving.
Drummond, Carter, Walker and Orlando’s Desmond Bane received one technical foul each, while Suggs received two.
Afterward, Suggs said he intervened because he took issue with Drummond squaring up with Carter. He said he had no regrets and would do it again «10 times out of 10.»
«In my opinion, squaring up is a little too crazy, so that was that in the moments that preceded,» Suggs said. «They were what they were. I don’t regret it. I’ll stick up for my brother every time. I’ll take the fine. Don’t think I should’ve gotten ejected, but I’ll take it. I’m not gonna argue with their call, so we move on. I don’t have no hard feelings toward nobody.»
The Magic dominated the second quarter, outscoring Philadelphia by 26 points in the period to take an 86-60 lead at the break.
Orlando went on to win 144-103.
