June 23

Milwaukee sent Antetokounmpo and Portis to Miami for Herro, Jaquez Jr., Ware and Jakucionis, then drafted Burries 10th and Ament 13th. Taylor Jenkins, hired April 30, took over a roster rebuilt almost entirely this year, coming off a 32-50 finish.

October 26

The Bucks beat Indiana 110-102 at home for their first win of the season, ending a three-game losing streak. Herro had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Rollins added 19. It was the second win over the Pacers this fall, after a 128-127 road win on October 16.

October 28 and 31

Houston won 132-100 in Milwaukee, and Cleveland followed with a 136-111 win at Fiserv Forum. The Cavaliers led 72-46 at the half behind a 48-point second quarter. Ware had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Through six games the Bucks score 106.6 and allow 119.4 per 100 possessions.

Monday, November 2

Minnesota is 4-3 with a net rating of 11.1, but Edwards, who scored 33.3 a game in four appearances, is out with a knee injury. DiVincenzo is also out, and Gobert is day-to-day. The Timberwolves won 116-97 on October 5. The Journal Sentinel's Owczarski reported Turner went to the locker room Saturday; he is not on an injury list.

The next week

Four more games follow Monday: at Boston on November 4, home against Toronto on November 6 and Boston on November 8, then at New York on November 10. By our count, Jaquez Jr. is seven rebounds short of 1,000 for his career, about one game away at his pace this season.

Next Milwaukee visits Minnesota on Monday, November 2, then travels to Boston on November 4.
