The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a tough loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, but it wasn’t just the defeat that grabbed attention. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was central to two major controversies during the game. Apart from his nasty prank on Jaylen Brown, the Bucks star was responsible for Jayson Tatum’s injury during the game.
As Tatum attempted a corner three-pointer in the third quarter, Giannis closed out on him, causing Tatum to land awkwardly. Tatum appeared to injure his ankle and was seen limping while sitting on the bench. Although Tatum quickly returned to the game, fans couldn’t forget the scare.
Some social media users even questioned whether Giannis’ actions were intentional. A video posted by one X user suggested that the incident may not have been accidental, with fans drawing comparisons to a similar play involving Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving. Many expressed frustration, feeling that Giannis had deliberately contacted his opponents.
Despite the drama, Giannis performed excellently, finishing with a game-high 43 points. However, the night was marred by the controversies surrounding his on-court actions, making it a game that will likely be remembered for all the wrong reasons, especially after the Bucks’ loss.
