Knicks' Enes Kanter upset after altercation, shove, ejection, stitches, losing job

SALT LAKE CITY — A day after going nose to nose with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court, Enes Kanter had kind words for the Milwaukee star — but not so much for Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham.

After a hard collision during the Knicks' 112-96 loss on Thursday, Kanter and Antetokounmpo exchanged angry words before Ham rushed up and shoved Kanter.

“The NBA should fine him,” Kanter said. “He’s not my assistant coach so he’s not allowed to touch me. You’re a Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach, so you’re allowed to touch the Bucks players, not me. He cannot be touching me.
