It should surprise no one that the Milwaukee Bucks have been left off the NBA's Christmas Day schedule again in 2025. For at least another season, the franchise's appearance count will stay at 10. Oh, well.
NBA media coverage hasn't exactly given the Milwaukee Bucks due process this offseason. Despite repeated contradictions from Giannis Antetokounmpo himself, national networks went all-in on Giannis trade gossip as if trying to will it into existence.
Pundits criticized the team for not making a splash, despite limited resources, in order to supposedly appease him. When the Bucks signed Myles Turner, the only thing they could talk about was how they had to waive Damian Lillard to do so.
