The NBA has revoked Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s triple-double in the waning seconds of Sunday’s game, ESPN reported Monday.
Antetokounmpo collected a defensive rebound, his ninth overall, with 10 seconds remaining in Milwaukee’s 117-111 win over the Washington Wizards.
He then dribbled the length of the floor, apparently to run out the clock, but then threw a soft throw to himself from the backboard, apparently collecting his 10 rebounds and the fourth triple-double of the season.

No dice, the league decided there.
A player must shoot “with the intent to score a field goal,” NBA rules read.
Antetokounmpo’s stat line now reads 23 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds in Game No. 64 this season.
