The Milwaukee Bucks will look to continue their Summer League tournament run and extend their stay in Las Vegas when they match up with the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
The Milwaukee Bucks have a chance to make some franchise history on Saturday, as they could advance to the quarter finals of the Summer League tournament in Las Vegas for the very first time.
Before the Bucks can look ahead to a potential match up with the Utah Jazz or Memphis Grizzlies in the last eight, though, they’ll first have to overcome a Philadelphia 76ers team who provided the biggest upset of the tournament’s first round.
In spite of being the lowest ranked team entering tournament play, the 76ers just edged past the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, and certainly have enough talent to build on that first win when they face the Bucks.

Although Philadelphia’s roster doesn’t include any of the young stars who helped propel them to Eastern Conference relevance in the NBA last season, it does boast a number of talented prospects who’ll be hoping to work their way into Brett Brown’s rotation in the coming season.
For the Bucks, there have been plenty of positives so far in Las Vegas, and if they can add some polish to what they’ve already been doing, they’ll have a great opportunity to continue their Summer League experience.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the key elements to watch out for ahead of Saturday’s matchup with the 76ers.
