Last Friday night marked the end of the first G League season for the Wisconsin Herd, the affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks.
It was a whirlwind of a season, especially considering they had been newly minted this time a year ago after a lengthy search involving a handful of cities around the state of Wisconsin vying to be the host city of the team’s G League venture. The Herd’s expansion campaign was a fitting introduction to the ever-changing nature that is the G League, both on and off the court.
With delays occurring in the latter stages of constructing their home, Menominee Nation Arena, right before the start of the season, the Herd and the Bucks organization as a whole took advantage of the opportunity by having the Herd play their first three home games of the year in the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
