Giannis Antetokounmpo Ejected for First Time in NBA Career
Bucks Star Receives Two Technicals in Defeat to Heat
Antetokounmpo Tallies 20 Points, 8 Rebounds, 6 Assists in Loss
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected from an NBA game for the first time in his career on Wednesday night. The incident occurred in the third quarter of the Bucks' 113-112 loss to the Miami Heat.
With 9:26 remaining in the third quarter and the Bucks trailing by 10 points, Antetokounmpo was called for a technical foul by referee Rodney Mott for arguing a no-call on a drive to the basket. Antetokounmpo then received a second technical foul just over two minutes later for continuing to argue with Mott, resulting in his ejection.
"I was just trying to get a call," Antetokounmpo said after the game. "I felt like I was fouled on the play, and I let my emotions get the best of me."
Antetokounmpo's ejection was a major blow to the Bucks, who were already struggling to keep pace with the Heat. The Bucks went on to lose the game by a single point, snapping their three-game winning streak.
Antetokounmpo's ejection is a reminder that even the most dominant players in the league are not immune to the frustrations of the game. It also highlights the importance of maintaining composure, even in the heat of the moment.
