Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen was ejected on Friday night after committing a hard foul that sent Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso slamming into the court.
Allen, about halfway through the third quarter of their 94-90 win over the Bulls at Fiserv Forum, went up to contest a Caruso layup at the rim. Allen came flying in from the right to try and stop Caruso, but he missed the ball and connected with Caruso’s arm instead — which sent him slamming into the court hard.
Caruso landed directly on his side underneath the rim, and remained there for several moments.
Allen was assessed a flagrant 2 foul, which triggered an automatic ejection. He finished his night with five points and three rebounds in 20 minutes.
Despite the hard foul, Caruso remained in and finished out the game. He did miss both of his free throws, however.
Though the Bulls held a slight lead headed into the fourth quarter, the Bucks edged Chicago out in the fourth quarter to claim the four-point win. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds for Milwaukee, and Khris Middleton added 16 points and 11 rebounds.
DeMar DeRozan dropped 35 points for the Bulls while shooting 9-of-18 from the field, and Nikola Vucevic added 19 points and 12 rebounds. Those two, along with 11 points from Matt Thomas off the bench, were the only Chicago players to score in double figures. The Bulls, who are still without Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball, have now lost six of their last eight.
