The Milwaukee Bucks are on a path to redemption in 2025-26. It will be a journey filled with major questions and high-stakes gambles. Following a turbulent 2024-25 season, which included a third consecutive first-round playoff exit, the franchise has undergone a significant roster overhaul, signaling a fresh start and a renewed commitment to competing for another championship.
The biggest move of the offseason was the release of Damian Lillard, who will miss the entire 2025-26 season with a torn Achilles injury. This move, along with the departures of long-time core players Pat Connaughton and Brook Lopez, has fundamentally reshaped the roster.
