March 21 (UPI) -- Marcus Smart was ejected in the third quarter of the Boston Celtics' loss to the Philadelphia 76ers after shoving 7-foot center Joel Embiid to the ground.
Smart's shove came with about 11 minutes remaining in the third frame of Boston's 118-115 setback Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Celtics led 69-58 when Sixers guard Ben Simmons held the ball out near half-court during an offensive possession for Philadelphia.
