Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected with 6:30 remaining in the fourth quarter during a 103-83 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.

Failing to pick up a foul call while going up for a layup against Marc Gasol, "The Greek Freak" said something vile enough to the nearby official to warrant an immediate ejection with just one technical.

Antetokounmpo had a rough night shooting the rock, connecting on just two of his 10 attempts for seven points, while adding seven rebounds and three assists in a team-high 35 minutes of action.

Milwaukee's next game comes on Friday against the Miami Heat. It's unknown at this time whether Antetokounmpo will face some sort of punishment from the league for what transpired late against Memphis.
