Announced by the league on ESPN 2 this afternoon, here’s what to expect.
Season Preview
After a disappointing postseason push in 2023-24, the Milwaukee Bucks look to recapture the magic of 2021 and the team’s third-ever championship this season. Featuring the Greek captain, Giannis Antetokounmpo, fresh off an Olympic run, clutch NBA superstar Damian Lillard, sharpshooter Khris Middleton and Milwaukee’s official hype man Bobby Portis, the reloaded Bucks look well-poised to challenge for a title this season.
