Things got heated in Milwaukee on Thursday night between Bucks superstar small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter, and injured Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis wasn't a fan of how Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham came onto the court and essentially shoved Kanter away from Antetokounmpo.

After Enes Kanter fouled Giannis Antetokounmpo hard by hitting him in the face, the two players started jawing and got into each other's faces. That's when Darvin Ham ran off the Bucks' bench and grabbed Kanter.

Kristaps Porzingis, who is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season, took to Instagram to voice his frustration over what Darvin Ham did.

To make matters worse for the Knicks, New York got blown out by the Bucks, losing by a final score of 112-96. Kanter was ejected from the game and needed to get stitches above his left eye. It was just a bad night for the Knickerbockers.

When fights happen in the NBA, assistant coaches usually come onto the court to try and settle things down. It looks like Kanter and Porzingis are taking exception to how much force Ham was using, but Ham was just trying to get Kanter away from Antetokounmpo to the best of his ability.

One thing is for sure: Kristaps Porzingis is itching to get back onto the floor and compete with his teammates.
