The Milwaukee Bucks’ preseason kicks off on Monday night with a road game against an interesting Dallas Mavericks team.
The wait is over, Milwaukee Bucks fans! The Bucks finally have a game after a long summer off as they take on the Dallas Mavericks in Dallas on Monday night. It’s just the NBA preseason, but for basketball-deprived fans it’ll do.
The Bucks will be without two of their best and brightest young players on Monday. Jabari Parker will miss this and many more games as he recovers from an ACL tear, and Giannis Antetokounmpo did not travel with the team to Dallas due to the sudden death of his father over the weekend.
