Bucks Open Training Camp, Knees Feel Better On Softer Court

The Milwaukee Bucks open their training camp with a two and a half hour practice on Tuesday. And players said they felt better after working on a softer court that was more forgiving to their knees. It was the first workout in the Bucks’ new Sports Science Center in downtown Milwaukee, after they opened camp the last two years at the Kohl Center in Madison. Coach Jason Kidd said it was clear that all his players came into camp in great shape, and ready to build on last year’s playoff run in which they were eliminated by Toronto in the first round. Also, six players started their competition for Milwaukee’s 15th and final regular season roster spot — Gary Payton the Second, Joel Anthony, Gerald Green, Brandon Rush, Kendall Marshall, and James Young.
