The decision comes after the Greek Freak was ejected from the game against the Washingtin Wizards Tuesday night, Aug. 11, after he headbutted Moe Wagner.
As expected Giannis is suspended one game (@wojespn) for headbutting Mo Wagner. The #Bucks escape any real trouble though, he’ll be back for the playoffs. pic.twitter.com/1xuVF7S6sd
