Bucks vs. Bulls NBA Summer League preview, start time, television plan and injuries

Bucks vs. Bulls NBA Summer League preview, start time, television plan and injuries


The Milwaukee Bucks will play their last game of the Round Robin part of Summer League against the Chicago Bulls this afternoon. Both teams are 1-2 and will not play the four-team playoff this weekend. With nothing tangible in the line, it will be interesting to see how the competitor of the two division approaches this competition.

Where we are

The atmosphere has dropped against Denver for the summer goats since its first victory. You have dropped two games in a disappointing way. On Saturday, Cleveland convicted her from start to finish and dominated the back and free battles. Milwaukee struggled against the Clippers to score to score in the absence of Jamaree Bouyea. They missed their first ten field goals in the fourth quarter, which ultimately closed their coffin for a while after a competition game. In order to make things worse, Tyler Smith and Andre Jackson Jr. showed very little, which is pleased to be happy. Ajax only scored 5.7 points, while he was doing it more than 3.3 times per game, and Smith shoots three terrible 5.6% (1/18). Yes, you read the right.

The bulls achieve a quality victory against Indiana, which they needed after they have been blown twice to start their Vegas trip. In the game against the Pacers, the two youngest lottery picks from Chicago, Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue, both outstanding achievements. Buzelis fell by 28 points and five rebounds, and Essengue added 21 points with three triples. Unfortunately, the latter was also posterized by Johnny Furphy, and a photo of his embarrassing facial expression during the dark became viral.

Injury report

Mark Sears, who dealt with a calf pollution, still has to make his debut on the summer league. Jamaree Bouyea missed Milwaukees the last game with a thigh contusion. Official injury lists are not reported in Vegas, so we will find out at the season whether these two adapt or not. Chicago is currently in full strength, but Matas Buzelis may be closed as soon as the team wants to keep its all-rookie striker for the upcoming regular season.

To see players

Bogoljub Markovic looked better with the death of every game for the goats, and this trend could continue this afternoon. Chicago has a smaller, less physically impressive squad than Cleveland, Denver and Los Angeles, which means that Markovic should not be pushed around and played from the square. At this point, all the signs indicate that the Serbier will be hidden next season, but this game (and Friday) will be his chance to leave the right impression for fans and the organization.
