After the Milwaukee Bucks announced their preseason schedule Monday evening, we run through their five-game slate that will set the stage to their highly anticipated 2019-20 NBA season.

While we’re only now hitting the dog days of the NBA offseason, we finally have our first notice of when we can expect the return of Milwaukee Bucks basketball, at least in a semi-official capacity.

Having recently wrapped up their Summer League account in Las Vegas earlier this month, the Bucks are now 75 days away from their preseason opener as the team announced their full 2019 preseason schedule Monday evening.
