The Milwaukee Bucks got sweet, sweet revenge on the Orlando Magic, 116-108. In one of the most entertaining games all season, new acquisition Cam Thomas exploded for 34 points and Kevin Porter Jr. notched an 18-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. Desmond Bane went off from deep with 31 points I guess, but it wasn’t enough. NBA.com […]
Six days ago, as anxiety was about as high among the fanbase as I can remember, it became clear the Bucks were not going to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. This didn’t come as a surprise. It also didn’t come as a surprise that Milwaukee made a move, shipping out unproductive vets Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, […]

The Milwaukee Bucks put up a good fight but ultimately fell to the Orlando Magic 118-99. The game was ugly in the first half, with neither team making much from outside, but the Magic’s final 18 minutes were stellar. The Bucks have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow night (or not, for the pro-tank crowd) […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have just secured their first three-game win streak of the season, and have a shot to make it four tonight against the Orlando Magic. Now, although the Bucks are playing better, each of those three wins was against a poor team; the Magic, even without Franz Wagner, present a greater challenge. This […]
Looks like Giannis isn’t the only Milwaukee Bucks player who will take part in All-Star Weekend. Bobby Portis was announced as one of the eight players who will take part in this season’s three-point contest. This is the first time in his 11-year career that Portis will participate in an All-Star event. It’s the third […]
Before Thursday’s trade deadline, a rumor last week linked the Bucks with former Nets guard Cam Thomas, primarily from HoopsHype’s Mike Scotto. While the contract isn’t public yet, usually post-deadline signings are for the veteran’s minimum, which would be about $905k for Thomas over the remainder of the year. Milwaukee can use the minimum salary […]
Franchise records, cardinal sins, basketball gods, and the unexpected. Volume 7 is nothing if not varied. And while the past fortnight might have seemed all doom and gloom to begin, a win streak and the quiet celebration of a post-trade deadline with Giannis still here have brought some much-needed positive mojo back to the Bucks. […]
The Milwaukee Bucks are undefeated with Ousmane Dieng on the roster (despite him not seeing a second of playing time), taking down the Indiana Pacers, 105-99.

Kevin Porter Jr. was the game’s leading scorer with 23 points. Andrew Nembhard led a depleted Pacers squad with 22. […]
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we took one last pre-deadline temperature check on the Giannis rumors as the typical national voices fanned the flames of him wanting out even further. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
Thank goodness we can focus solely on the Milwaukee Bucks on the court, not the trade rumors, as they host the Indiana Pacers tonight in a Central Division tank-off. Milwaukee has successfully defeated the Pacers in their previous two games this year. Where We’re At Despite Shams Charania’s and Brian Windhorst’s best efforts, the Milwaukee […]
Jon Horst and the Bucks front office have decided to waive journeyman Nigel Hayes-Davis, who got another shot in the NBA this season with the Phoenix Suns after a long and successful career overseas. Hayes-Davis, a wing-forward combo, actually would have fitted a position of need for the Bucks. But at 31 years old and […]
“Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” is the phrase Jon Horst must be saying after all the rage bait from the national media desperately begging the Milwaukee Bucks to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. But the Bucks have gotten through the trade deadline with their superstar still in Milwaukee and a few new faces. Here’s a […]
In a surprise change of events, the Bucks have reworked their trade with the Suns. Big man Nick Richards is heading to Chicago, not Milwaukee, while Ousmane Dieng, formerly of the Thunder, is being rerouted to the Bucks. Nothing changes for Nigel Hayes-Davis, Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey. Dieng has bounced around a couple places […]
After more and more reports came out in the last 24 hours that the Bucks were increasingly likely to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo through the deadline, the most recent intel from ESPN’s Shams Charania also indicated they were going to move on to other trades. Almost immediately after, we got notification that Milwaukee had completed their […]
After gauging offers for several days for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks have indicated to teams that they are keeping their two-time MVP through today’s trade deadline. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the news today, with several others following up to confirm the story. This has been the prevailing sentiment over the past couple of […]
The Milwaukee Bucks were able to sneak by the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime in Kevin Porter Jr.’s return, 141-137. Milwaukee had another efficient game shooting the ball from the three-point line, going 21/47 (44.7%). Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap on the Bucks+ podcast, Bucks In […]
It wasn’t easy, but the Milwaukee Bucks picked up their second win of the week, taking down the New Orleans Pelicans in a nail biter. The win indirectly improves the Bucks’ chances of keeping their pick, separating themselves from each other by nine games in the lottery standings. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks offense with […]
This season has been a miserable one for the Bucks, whose record will only get worse now that Giannis is out for an extended period (again). Simply put, they are a bad team that, for the first time in a long time, sits at the lunch table with the NBA’s bottom-feeders as opposed to its […]
In a pregame interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Jim Owczarski before last night’s 131-115 win over the Chicago Bulls—snapping a five-game losing streak—Giannis spoke candidly about where his head was at as the trade deadline looms. Following some banter, Owczarski posed the two-time MVP a serious question: what do you want? “You know,” he […]
It’s trade-deadline eve and the Milwaukee Bucks host the New Orleans Pelicans in a game that may very well have profound implications on the Bucks’ future. Having swapped 2026 pick rights with the Pelicans as part of the Jrue Holiday trade, and the Pelicans trading their 2026 first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for Derik […]
