Cooper DeJean shows love for Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe
Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean praises Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey’s and rookie V.J. Edgecombe’s calling both “fun to watch.”
Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Monday, Nov. 10 for forcibly throwing his water bottle to the floor while on the bench during a Nov. 8 game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The incident occurred with 6:25 remaining in the third quarter after Ingram fouled Sixers forward Trendon Watford on a driving layup at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Watford scored the basket and the foul before a frustrated Ingram walked to the Raptors bench, sat down and threw the water bottle on the floor in disgust. The bottle made contact with a game attendant and caused a delay to dry the court.
The referees assessed a technical foul, and Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey made the free throw before Watford made his free throw to complete the and-1. By the game’s conclusion, Watford had recorded his first career triple-double with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.
Ingram had a strong game for the Raptors, recording 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists, but Philadelphia would go on to beat Toronto 130-120 in the Atlantic Division showdown.
The Raptors return to action Tuesday, Nov. 11 for a game against the Nets in Brooklyn. The 76ers host the Boston Celtics on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET in a nationally televised game on NBC.
