Hockey is the sport known for tooth loss and requiring dental work. Teeth also fall out in basketball.
During a rematch from the 2021 NBA Finals on Tuesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks removed a tooth from Torrey Craig of the Phoenix Suns.
The Greek phenom, with his 7-foot, 243-pound him, was driving into the bucket before Craig picked him up defensively. Although Antetokounmpo fumbled, it looked like his elbow came up and hit Craig.

Craig fell to the ground and lay there for several seconds in clear pain. A closer look revealed that his fingers were in his mouth counting teeth. And it turned out that one was missing.
The announcers wondered if he was missing more than one, but it seemed like he only picked one from the floor.
