The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we examine the tension that arose late in Team USA’s win over Greece Saturday morning and why the Antetokounmpo brothers were at the center of it.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, tension mounts following Team USA’s win over Greece and a chasedown block attempt from Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo, we look at what Eric Bledsoe needs to do to become an All-Star next season, and much more.
