Watch: Kanter ejected after getting in Antetokounmpo's face

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter was ejected from Thursday's road matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks early in the fourth quarter.

Kanter appeared to deliver a forearm to Giannis Antetokounmpo's face as the "Greek Freak" looked to pass the ball but no foul was called. Kanter then stared down Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks star took exception to the blow, chirping at Kanter as he made his way back up the floor. Kanter escalated the situation by going forehead to forehead with Antetokounmpo before officials and coaches intervened to separate the two.

Kanter was given the boot for his involvement while Antetokounmpo was assessed a technical foul. But Kanter didn't realize he had been ejected - he thought he was simply leaving the game for stitches.
