The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Bucks are in Dallas for their preseason opener.

In this latest edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we look ahead to Monday night’s preseason opener against the Dallas Mavericks, and much more.

Excluding Summer League and its wide mix of temporary players, the Bucks haven’t taken to the court since their three-point defeat to the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 of their first round playoff series on April 27. That long wait is finally over.

To get all of your news, analysis and reaction on the Bucks throughout the season, continue to check in with us at Behind the Buck Pass, and make sure to read this column every morning.
