The Toronto Raptors star was fined $25,000 for angrily knocking over the bottle that hit a staff member and forcing the game to stop to clear the bench.
His teammate Scottie Barnes also found himself in danger.

Ingram sat on the bench and watched as staff members, including the man he punched in the face, cleaned up the mess he had made.
It’s unclear whether Ingram apologized for the outburst. He was later torn apart on social media for his apparent immaturity.
He had 21 points and eight rebounds in 37 minutes as the 76ers won the game 130-120.

Toronto closed to within three points of the 76ers’ lead with 3:25 to play. 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 were up nine points with 1:25 to play and didn’t look back. Embiid had 29 points in the victory. Tyrese Maxey had 31.
Ingram joined the Raptors in the offseason on a three-year deal worth $120 million. He averages 21 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4 assists in 10 games with Toronto.

The Raptors fell to 5-5 with the loss. Philadelphia improved to 6-3. Ingram and Toronto will aim to get back in the win column on Tuesday night with a date against the lowly Brooklyn Nets.
