As seen in this video of the incident, the 20-year-old rising star rammed Dunleavy to the ground:

Since the Bucks were emphatically ousted from the playoffs, the suspension won't take effect until the start of the 2015-16 regular season, per Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders:

Milwaukee let things get out of hand in Game 6 as it lost by 54 points, and that led to some ugly incidents, with Antetokounmpo's tackle standing out above the rest.

There is a great deal of intrigue surrounding the Bucks entering 2015-16 since they have a young, talented team with Jabari Parker set to return from injury. Unfortunately for them, though, they'll have to start the campaign without one of their best players. ย
