Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar who is playing for his native Greece during the FIBA EuroBasket 2022 tournament, was ejected from a quarterfinal game against Germany Tuesday after hitting a player in the face. 

The whistle blew with just under five minutes left to play in the quarterfinal game after Antetokounmpo swatted at a German player and, instead of hitting the ball, hit him in the face. 

After review, Antetokounmpo was hit with an unsportsmanlike foul and was ejected from the game with Greece down big to Germany, 96-82 at the time. 

Germany posted a 107-96 upset at the buzzer to move on to the semifinals.
