Milwaukee Bucks News and Analysis Since 2007
There are just a dozen games left in the Milwaukee Bucks’ season and the first of them takes place tonight at Intuit Dome against the LA Clippers. Coming off a gritty win against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday, the Bucks continue their west-coast road-trip against a Clippers team that has been staggering to the play-in, […]
The Milwaukee Bucks made up for their stinker in Utah, beating the Phoenix Suns 108-105, mainly due to a bunch of huge plays down the stretch. The Bucks moved the ball more and turned it over less than they did against the Jazz, resulting in a much more polished performance. Read our full summary of […]
The Milwaukee Bucks respond to their worst game of the year with a gritty win tonight, beating the Phoenix Suns 108-105 in a nail-biting affair. Ryan Rollins dazzled for the Bucks with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, while Jalen Green led the Suns with 24 points. NBA.com Box Score Game Recap Like their […]
The Herd is going through the motions of functioning as a G League team, waiting to finish out the remainder of a fruitless season. The stakes are getting lower, and the Herd is looking inside to see which players might remain on their roster or, better yet, join an NBA team. Wisconsin Herd 113, Osceola Magic […]
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker and SB Nation Reacts poll, we asked you about the choice the Bucks will have to make if Giannis is cleared to return from injury before the end of the season. We also got your opinion on Cam Thomas’ future in Milwaukee. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for voting! […]
In a season full of ugly losses, the Bucks added another one on Thursday, in a 32-point loss to the Utah Jazz. They’ll look to put it in the rear-view mirror, as they have a date with the Phoenix Suns in the second game of their West Coast trip. These former NBA Finals opponents already […]
Friday morning, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne published a piece including an interview she conducted with Bucks co-owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam. There’s a fair bit in it that I’ll summarize, but it includes the most notable comment from the team—in this case, spoken by Edens—about Giannis’ pending extension decision this summer: “Giannis is going into […]
By now, I assume everyone is aware of the disagreement between Giannis and the Bucks over him being shut down for the season after yet another injury. If you’re not, please read Van’s recap (along with his take on what Milwaukee should do). And to be clear, Van’s logic is completely reasonable: essentially, if and […]
The Milwaukee Bucks played what was definitely their worst game of this season, getting blown out by the 20-48 Utah Jazz, 128-96. Along with their play itself, this was also the team’s worst game from a body language standpoint, and that’s saying a lot. The Jazz, who, make no mistake, are going to extreme lengths […]
The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their most humiliating loss of the season, getting boatraced 128-96 by the 20-48 Utah Jazz. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 15 points and five assists, while Ace Bailey dropped a career-high 33 points for the Jazz. NBA.com Box Score Game Recap It was one of the ugliest first quarters all […]
Last week, we checked in on several Bucks 2026 draft prospects as March Madness got underway, including where you could watch them in their conference tournaments. The NCAA tournament begins today, and we’re back with more on those guys, plus a few more. But before we dive into prospects playing in the tournament, we have […]
After losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, the Bucks get back to make-believe basketball against the Utah Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City. Neither team is officially out of Playoff contention, but let’s not fool ourselves—tonight’s game exists merely to make up the numbers as both sides trudge towards the season’s end and, hopefully, […]
Yesterday’s announcement that Giannis Antetokounmpo would miss some time with a hyperextended left knee probably came as a relief to many Bucks fans. Milwaukee is 6.5 games out of the East’s 10th seed with 14 games remaining, making it essentially impossible to climb back into the race, so there are plenty who feel the star […]
Down key guys, the Milwaukee Bucks, once again, battled diligently but ran out of gas, this time losing 123-116 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks went a sizzling 20/45 (44.4%) from three, but shot only 17 free throws to the Cavs’ 34, which was the swing stat that lost them the game. Read our full […]
Without Giannis and Myles Turner, the Milwaukee Bucks put up a surprisingly good fight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but their hot shooting wasn’t enough in Tuesday’s home loss, going down 123-116. Without Giannis and Myles Turner, Kevin Porter Jr. led all Bucks scorers with a 25-point, 10-assist performance. Evan Mobley and James Harden paced Cleveland […]
After suffering a scary fall in Sunday’s win over Indiana, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss a significant chunk of time with a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise. The Bucks reported that Antetokounmpo would miss at least one week after undergoing testing. Bucks staff changed his injury designation to out shortly before Tuesday’s primetime […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. After appearing to injure his ankle last week, Giannis apparently hurt his knee during Sunday’s win […]
After a back-to-back where the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the fiery-hot Hawks on the road and beat the Pacers at home, they’ll take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday. The last time these two Central Division teams met, KPJ iced the game with a clean fadeaway over Jarrett Allen in one of […]
Though the Bucks dropped the tanking Pacers 134-123, Giannis left midway through the third quarter with what’s so far being called a hyperextended left knee. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap on the Bucks+ podcast, Bucks In Six Minutes, below. Player Grades Giannis Antetokounmpo 23 minutes, 31 […]
Finishing up their matinee back-to-back at home, the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a four-game losing streak, taking out perhaps the most unabashed tankers in NBA history, the Indiana Pacers. I copy-pasted nearly all of that sentence from last weekend’s victory over the Jazz and changed the team name. Aaron Nesmith scored a game-high 32 as his […]
The Milwaukee Bucks complete the second leg of their back-to-back today against the Indiana Pacers (or should I say “Tankers”). Yes, it’s pretty clear what result Indy wants today, so Milwaukee will just need to play semi-competently, and they should get across the line. The Bucks have won all three games in the season series […]
Despite strong box score games from Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr., the Bucks continued their losing ways against the soaring Atlanta Hawks—who now own a league-best nine-game win streak. In what has become a hallmark of the Bucks’ season, turnovers were again the bane of the Milwaukee’s game, while Wisconsin native Jalen Johnson led […]
Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks stood little chance against the league’s hottest team, the Atlanta Hawks, handing them their ninth straight victory in a matinee blowout at State Farm Arena. Oft-Buck killer (this season, at least) CJ McCollum had a game-high 30 points for the home team, Wisconsin native Jalen Johnson had a 23-point […]
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker and SB Nation Reacts poll, we asked about the Bucks’ two centers, plus their closeness to the Pelicans in the lottery standings and Taurean Prince. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions. Check out FanDuel, the official sportsbook of SB Nation.
The Milwaukee Bucks front up today against the Atlanta Hawks in what will likely be their final chance to beat a side right above them in the standings (and thus gain a full game on that opponent). Analysts like Zach Lowe have wondered whether Giannis will get shut down soon if they don’t stack wins […]
