The Milwaukee Bucks, who close their championship here, joined the eleventh position in the East behind the Miami Heat of Simone Fontecchio (awakening tonight against Atlanta), qualified for play-in. The first strike was coach Doc Rivers, who left the bench after two and a half seasons (it arrived in January 2024). Even more noisy could be the departure of Giannis Antetokounmpo, in Milwaukee since 2013, the year in which he made his debut in the league, after a season in which the bellyache for the Greek did not miss. In the last season, the Bucks surrendered for 126-106 to the Philadelphia 76ers, who will be immediately engaged in the play-in tournament.
