The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Giannis Antetokounmpo suited up for Greece in an exhibition game against Montenegro.

In this latest edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we catch up with all the latest from Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Friday night game for Greece, as well as the details from the Herd’s press conference.

Once it gets underway, we’ll have all of the details from and reactions to Giannis’ tournament play here on Behind the Buck Pass, and in this daily column.
