Emotions ran high in the Milwaukee Bucks' Game 6 playoff loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, and that will cost forward Giannis Antetokounmpo a game next season.
According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, the Greek Freak has been suspended one game for running over Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy:

Since the Bucks were emphatically ousted from the playoffs, the suspension won't take effect until the start of the 2015-16 regular season, per Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders:
Milwaukee let things get out of hand in Game 6 as it lost by 54 points, and that led to some ugly incidents, with Antetokounmpo's tackle standing out above the rest.
