NBA 2019-20 Milwaukee Bucks profile: Roster and season schedule

Milwaukee Bucks will start their NBA 2019-20 season with a few changes. In the pre-season draft, they bought back Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton and part-time closer George Hill successfully. However, they lost Malcolm Brogdon to Indiana Pacers. Nikola Mirotic has also returned to the EuroLeague. Instead, the Bucks have signed on a trio of veterans – Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver and Robin Lopez. Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Dragan Bender are two more additions to their revamped roster. Thanasis will be uniting with his younger brother Giannis for the very first time in the NBA.
