The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as members of the franchise’s entertainment team are set to join Giannis Antetokounmpo at All-Star Weekend.
In today’s edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we get details on non-playing Bucks representatives at All-Star Weekend, the Wisconsin Herd’s inaugural season success, and more.
While a respectable traveling party is already ensured for the Bucks, the hope will be that more players will have a chance to make the trip to Los Angeles for All-Star Weekend. Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe will be hoping for a reserve spot or even a last minute opportunity as an injury replacement, while the All-Star Saturday festivities offer another route for players to take part too.
To stay on top of all of the news, reaction and analysis surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks and Wisconsin Herd, including All-Star news, stick with us here at Behind the Buck Pass and check in with this column every morning.
