Giannis Antetokounmpo ejected after head-butting Wizards forward Moritz Wagner

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return to the court after dental surgery didn’t last long.

Antetokounmpo was ejected early in the second quarter of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 126-113 win against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night after he got into it with Moritz Wagner.

Antetokounmpo was called for an offensive foul minutes into the second quarter after he dropped his shoulder into Wagner — something that followed a contentious rebound exchange on the other end.

Antetokounmpo then started talking to Wagner after the play and ended up head-butting him, which quickly earned him a Flagrant 2 foul and an ejection.
