"After playing for India since 2008, it is depressing to see that the Delhi administration does not acknowledge my chess accomplishments. Talent and greatness are directly inspired by states that honor and encourage its winners. Unfortunately, Delhi hasn't done this yet. India at No. 5 and the globe at No. 53 On X, Tania Sachdev wrote.In a chaotic Monday of NBA play, Joel Embiid of Philadelphia was disqualified after he confronted a female referee during the 76ers' 111-106 victory over San Antonio.
Late in the first half, an anticipated big-man matchup between France's Victor Wembanyama and Cameroon's Embiid ended, and Tyrese Maxey scored 32 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, and dished out eight assists to help fuel the victory."It's big time," Maxey remarked in reference to Embiid's victory. "We're getting used to playing without him." We must alter the game, play a bit tougher, come in a little quicker, and grab more rebounds.
Following Maxey's late push with a steal, slam, 3-pointer, and free throw in a game-ending 9-3 victory to deliver the home victory, Embiid stepped onto the floor and gave him a hug."Man," Maxey remarked, "it's love." "My big brother has been that for a very long time."
When Wembanyama fell to the court after making contact with Andre Drummond of Philadelphia, who was sent off for a second technical foul, chaos broke out 3:47 into the second session. After a video review, it was later reversed to a "Wemby" flop foul, enabling Drummond to return to the game.
