Antetokounmpo handed one-game suspension

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been handed a one-game suspension by the NBA after being ejected from Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Antetokounmpo was ejected for charging into Chicago's Mike Dunleavy, who was forced to the ground a moment after letting go of a three-point attempt.

The 20-year-old will miss the first game of the 2015-16 season due to the league's decision.

It was a particularly disappointing moment in a defeat which saw the Bulls clinch a 4-2 series triumph and set up a second-round meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Dunleavy has escaped a suspension for an incident involving Michael Carter-Williams in the same game.
