The 76ers made the decision after an investigation, according to a 76ers spokesman.
The 76ers beat the Lakers 105-87 at home. A pair of fans yelled at Anthony as he walked near them.
Chris Haynes reported that one of the fans was ejected for calling Anthony a boy.

Anthony added more information after the game.
