Giannis Antetokounmpo on Amen Thompson’s Flagrant 2: “No Hard Feelings”

Despite a hard fall, Giannis Antetokounmpo holds no grudge against Amen Thompson, who was ejected for a flagrant foul 2 in the closing minutes of the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Houston Rockets matchup.

With 4:30 left and the Bucks down by two, Thompson grabbed Giannis by the neck and head, pulling him down hard. After a review, officials ruled the foul unnecessary and excessive, resulting in Thompson’s ejection.

“I love guys that play hard. Sometimes competitive nature leads to bad decisions, but I have no hard feelings,” said Antetokounmpo after the game.
