There appears to be nothing much from this exchange, except that Booker seemed to have pushed Giannis down to the floor as the latter was trying to get up. Booker quickly walked away, but you can clearly see how Antetokounmpo gave him a bit of a look as Book made his way to the bench. Giannis immediately got up and walked it off, and there appears to be no and blood between the two superstars.

It is worth noting that Giannis asked to be subbed out early in the opening period. It was an unusual circumstance but it doesn't appear as though Antetokounmpo suffered any type of injury. He knows what's on the line in this must-win game for the Bucks and Giannis will definitely do everything in his power to make sure this happens.
