Wendell Carter Jr., 26, found himself in the middle of an altercation with 76ers star Andre Drummond, 32.
Carter is the boyfriend of 23-year-old WNBA star Reese.
He confirmed their relationship status earlier this month.
Reese made history in October as the first active professional athlete to appear on the runway at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The Magic center had a run-in with Drummond late in the first half of their NBA Cup clash.
Drummond’s hand was smacked away by Carter which led to the pair squaring up to each other.
Big man Drummond was spotted with his fists raised as officials and coaching staff raced in to break up the incident.
But Magic guard Jalen Suggs, 24, then appeared to shove Drummond.

Carter and Drummond were charged with a double technical.
This is not the first time that Carter has been involved in a physical altercation on the court.
Center Carter was suspended for one game after a fight with the Detroit Pistons in 2022.
Meanwhile, Suggs was ejected from the game after picking up two technical fouls.
This was not the only ejection of the day as LA Clippers star Kris Dunn, 31, was forced off against the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, this had little impact on the result as the Magic claimed a blowout win against the 76ers.
The Magic have taken their season record to 11 wins from 19 games.
They lead the NBA Cup’s East Group B after picking up three wins during the in-season competition.
Their next game will be against the Pistons at the Little Caesars Arena on Friday.
