Giannis Antetokounmpo has the Bucks primed for a postseason run but it looks like he’s likely going to miss some time after what he did in Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.
Antetokounmpo was frustrated after being called for an offensive foul and he then took his frustrations out on Mo Howard’s face with a blatant headbutt.
It was a stunning move by the reigning MVP who was immediately tossed from the game. You have to think the NBA will suspend him for a few games after this.
The Bucks are the top seed in the East and should be fine without him for however long he misses but this was still wild to see:
I’m gonna call it:
