Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Half of fans’ feelings about the team have changed, half haven’t
With the Bucks going 2-3 in the preseason—beating the Thunder and Pacers and losing to the Wolves, Hornets, and Bulls—we wanted to take the fans’ pulse on whether their optimism had changed for this week’s survey. As the graphic shows, a plurality (48%) of fans were neutral, voting that they felt “about the same” as […]
Winners & Sinners: Week 1
Welcome to Winners & Sinners, our new weekly feature that reflects on the week that was. With Giannis wearing enemy colours and a new, youthful Bucks corps leading the charge, this season presents the unique opportunity to see just who is the Most Valuable Buck (MVB). But that’s not the only “award.” Each week, we’ll […]
Bucks vs. 76ers Player Grades: Ware finally comes to the party, Turner forgets his invite in gallant effort
In an effort most fans would be proud of, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Philadelphia 76ers, 127-116, in a game that was much closer than the final score suggests. In the second leg of their back-to-back, the Bucks went to Philadelphia and took it to a team many believe will contend for a title. […]

Rapid Recap: 76ers 127, Bucks 116
The Milwaukee Bucks tumbled to 0-3 after an away game against the Philadelphia 76ers that felt much closer than the final scoreline indicated. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the Bucks with 21 points, eight rebounds, and four assists in 27 minutes. Kel’el Ware (19 points, 13 rebounds, two blocks) and Ryan Rollins (15 points, three assists) […]
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers Preview & Game Thread: David vs. Goliath?
It’s SEGABABA time for the first time in 2026-27! Yes, the day after playing their home opener, the Milwaukee Bucks travel to Pennsylvania to take on LeBron James and the star-studded Philadelphia 76ers. Yesterday, the Bucks lost a close one to the Chicago Bulls in a showing that offered plenty of promise, but also raised […]
Bucks vs. Bulls Player Grades: Ryan Rollins’ early-season struggles persist in regrettable loss
In a game they should have won, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Chicago Bulls, 132-125. Turnovers and missed free throws doomed the Bucks against one of the few teams they entered the season with a legit chance to beat. A major blow, for sure, and now the team hits a long stretch of opponents […]
Rapid Recap: Bulls 132, Bucks 125
For the first time since the 2015-16 season, the Milwaukee Bucks start the year 0-2 after dropping a (very) winnable home opener to the Chicago Bulls 132-125. Tyler Herro continued his strong start in a Bucks uniform with 34 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Seven Bulls scored in double figures, led by Norman Powell […]
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls Preview & Game Thread: Fans, meet the young Bucks
Before World Series festivities get underway, the Milwaukee Bucks have a crucial game against the Chicago Bulls. Why? Well, obviously they’ll be champing at the bit to rectify the mistakes they made two nights ago, but this is also the last game for a while where Milwaukee has a genuine 50-50 shot at winning. Look […]
Milwaukee Bucks NBA 2K27 simulation: Part 1
The Milwaukee Bucks are some seasons removed from their best lineup. In fact, this season’s lineup is among the worst in the league—at least in the eyes of NBA 2K. But just how will their season pan out? To answer that question, I ran two separate NBA 2K27 season simulations: the first an AI-controlled affair, […]
Bucks vs. Wizards Player Grades: “The Heat package” leads in encouraging loss
Well, in a game that truly had it all, the Milwaukee Bucks fell 128-116 to the revamped Washington Wizards. The Bucks were led by “the Heat package,” which combined for 68 points. The final score really doesn’t reflect how the game transpired; frankly, the Bucks controlled most of the contest but just couldn’t turn an […]
Rapid Recap: Wizards 128, Bucks 116
The Milwaukee Bucks drop their first game of the post-Giannis era on the road to the Washington Wizards. Despite the loss, there was a lot to like, including 24 points and nine assists from Tyler Herro, and Kasparas Jakucionis leading all scorers off the bench with 15. There was just nothing Milwaukee could do about […]
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Washington Wizards Preview & Game Thread: Two new eras begin
Folks, tonight marks a landmark moment for the Milwaukee Bucks: their first official game—against the revamped Washington Wizards—without Giannis Antetokounmpo on the roster in 13 years. 13 years. It’s been one hell of a ride—culminating in a title, of course—but all good things must come to an end. And as that era ends, another begins, […]
Join us for the 2026-27 Bucks season on the SB Nation app
Almost two months ago, we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. The app is available in North America, and we’re working on Europe and the rest of the world as we speak! Quite a few of you have downloaded […]
NBA Opening Day open thread
While the Milwaukee Bucks have to wait one more night before they can officially begin their season, six other teams start tonight. And if you’re anything like us (we know you are), you’ll be tuning in too. So, what better way to kill time before we get to watch our beloved Bucks than a good […]
Bucks preseason notebook
With training camp and all five preseason games in the books, we have learned a lot about the Bucks as they embark on year one of the rebuild-but-don’t-call-it-a-rebuild. But what one person sees isn’t always the same as what the next person does. So, we thought we’d share pages of our notebooks, highlighting our main […]
Bucks sign Pete Nance to (another) two-way deal
After a nervous few days in which the Bucks waived Pete Nance from the non-guaranteed deal they signed him to in July to cut their official roster to 16—and then waived Kevin Porter Jr. yesterday to bring it to 15—the team announced that Nance has indeed signed another two-way contract to return to Milwaukee for […]
Bucks waive Kevin Porter Jr.
Minutes before the 4:00 p.m. deadline to finalize their regular-season roster, the Milwaukee Bucks announced they waived Kevin Porter Jr. This brings the final roster to 15 after the weekend saw the Bucks waive several other players, including Pete Nance. The 26-year-old’s waiving comes after a snake-bitten year; in the 2025-2026 campaign, KPJ suited up […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Has your level of optimism changed after the preseason?
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. Well, now that all five Bucks preseason games are in the rearview—with the team going 2-3—we wanted to revisit fans’ optimism levels heading into the season […]
Rulebook: 2026-27 NBA points of emphasis and areas of focus
In late September, the NBA announced its points of emphasis and areas of focus for officiating, which included videos with narrated examples of the league’s new “points of education.” A week later, NBA.com’s Jeff Zillgitt broke them down in prose. So, with NBA Opening Day on October 20—and the Bucks’ season officially starting on October […]
Jon Horst, what have you got?
With opening night (for the Bucks) just three days away, I want to highlight something we haven’t really talked about in much depth yet: this will be the first time we’ll see a Jon Horst-constructed team without Giannis Antetokounmpo. Moreover, this marks the first rebuild Horst has ever spearheaded (even if nobody wants to call […]
Bucks request waivers on Pete Nance, Johni Broome, and Jake Stephens
The Milwaukee Bucks have made the first of two moves needed to trim their roster to 15 standard contracts ahead of the 4:00 p.m. CT deadline on October 19, requesting waivers on Pete Nance, Johni Broome, and Jake Stephens. The Bucks announced the news via a media release and also on X: We have requested […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Fans conflicted on how to finalise roster
The question that’s stuck on everyone’s lips like a remnant of American cheese after a gluttonous stop at the drive-thru, “How will the Milwaukee Bucks trim their roster to 15 by opening night?”, continues to bemuddle Bucks fans. We mostly agree on removing the dead wood, but there’s reason to keep that around too. We […]
Preseason Rapid Recap: Bucks 128, Pacers 127 (OT)
The Milwaukee Bucks won a nail-biter against the Indiana Pacers in overtime! Tyler Herro led the Bucks with 25 points on 10/16 shooting (5/7 from deep), while Pascal Siakam dazzled for the Pacers with 24 on 8/10 shooting in less than 20 minutes. It was Kasparas Jakucionis, though, who stole the show late and basically […]
Milwaukee Bucks move home opener tip-off time for World Series
The Milwaukee Bucks are moving the start time for their regular-season home opener on October 23 against the Chicago Bulls from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. local time as the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to host Game 1 of the 2026 World Series the same night. The news was announced on the team’s X account Friday […]
