Bucks Open Training Camp With Most Returnees In Team History

The Milwaukee Bucks will start preparing for their 50th N-B-A season today (Tuesday), as they open Training Camp in their new downtown practice facility. The Bucks brought back 12 players from last season — the most in their history — to try and build on a record in which Milwaukee has not made it past the first round of the playoffs in 16 years. At the team’s Media Day on Monday, several players said listed higher goals — winning at least 50 games and moving past the first round. Milwaukee’s biggest offseason splash was promoting Jon Horst as the general manager after John Hammond left for Orlando. Horst says there was no reason to make big changes to a young Bucks’ roster that includes the team’s first All Star since 2004, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
