The complete story
The Milwaukee Bucks entered the NBA as an expansion team in 1968 and won a championship in just their third season, 1971, behind Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson, then lost the 1974 Finals to Boston. After decades without a title, Giannis Antetokounmpo โ drafted in 2013 and twice named MVP โ led Milwaukee to its second championship in 2021, beating Phoenix in six games. The Bucks have played at Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee since 2018, having moved from the Bradley Center. That championship core unraveled after Damian Lillard tore his Achilles tendon in the 2025 playoffs; Milwaukee waived Lillard via the stretch provision in July 2026 and, in a franchise-altering trade days earlier, sent Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakuฤionis and multiple future first-round picks. Owners Wesley Edens and Jimmy Haslam enter 2026-27 under new head coach Taylor Jenkins following Doc Rivers' April 2026 resignation.
