The game was paused as a crew came over to wipe the wet spots. Ingram sat on the bench and watched the staffers, including the man he hit in the face, clean up the mess he made.
It was unclear whether Ingram apologized for the outburst.
He had 21 points and eight rebounds in 37 minutes as the 76ers won the game, 130-120.

Toronto got to within three points of the 76ers’ lead with 3:25 left in the game. However, Philadelphia scored the next six points – including a VJ Edgecombe layup, Kelly Oubre Jr.’s dunk and Joel Embiid’s follow up on his own miss.
The 76ers went up nine points with 1:25 to play 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’s averaging 21 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4 assists in 10 games for Toronto.
The Raptors fell to 5-5 with the loss. Philadelphia improved to 6-3.
