The Milwaukee Bucks will get their 2018 NBA Summer League campaign underway on Friday as they’ll match up with the Detroit Pistons.
Although the wait will continue for true NBA action over the coming months, close to 10 weeks since the Milwaukee Bucks lost a Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, a team will once again take to the court bearing their name.
Summer League basketball has already been underway for a few days in the form of some of the smaller events around the country, but Friday marks the beginning of the NBA’s 30-team marquee Summer League event from Las Vegas.
The Bucks will be one of the teams in action on day one, as they will square off with the Detroit Pistons at Cox Pavilion, in a 6pm CT start which will be televised on NBA TV.
