With no Jalen Johnson, we’re getting some Kaminsky/Okongwu minutes with OO in the actions in the paint on offense and Kaminsky guarding Ibaka on defense. – 12:37 PM

Bucks up, 11-10, four minutes into this one.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is 0-for-3 from the field thus far, but he got to the line and hit both free throws. – 12:17 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bobby Portis has been pushing the ball up the floor himself a lot off of rebounds this preseason. Curious to see if that sticks in the regular season. – 12:13 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer will be on the bench today, but did say it may be a bit of a hybrid effort from him and associate head coach Charles Lee.
Budenholzer joked that he’ll probably be sitting quite a bit more than normal. – 10:38 AM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The NBA was fairly certain Giannis Antetokounmpo was going to play at least one of the games in Abu Dhabi, going back to when this trip was announced.
There is a reason the #Bucks are there, after all.
Barring any warmup issues, this afternoon is the day for him to play. – 10:36 AM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
“We’ve tried to build chemistry by keeping those guys together.”
–Nate McMillan, via Zoom, on the starting five of Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, De’Andre Hunter, John Collins and Clint Capela – 10:35 AM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Wesley Matthews remains OUT for the Bucks today with a tweaked ankle that he suffered last Friday.
Joe Ingles and Khris Middleton are both obviously OUT as well. (Not sure I need to say that anymore.) – 10:35 AM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Locked in early. 😎

David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
Adam Silver, in Abu Dhabi for the Hawks-Bucks preseason game, is asked about Victor Wembanyama: “I know that many of our NBA teams are salivating at the notion that potentially, through our Lottery, that they could get him– so they should all still compete very hard next season.” – 10:32 AM

Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
Wes Matthews still unavailable due to an ankle injury.
