We’re almost there. A week from tonight, the Bucks will tip off their first preseason action in Miami, and tomorrow, training camp begins. That means today is Media Day around the NBA (or at least for teams not traveling abroad for preseason games), and like last year, Jackson Gross and I are heading up to Fiserv Forum to get the scoop.
Also like last year, we’ll have an article condensing some of the big takeaways from coach, player, ownership, and front office availability. But if you want to check it out yourself, you can stream it live here. Opening remarks will happen at 11 a.m. Central from co-owner and governor Wes Edens. GM Jon Horst and Doc Rivers will be next up, likely together as they were last September.
At 11:30, the player schedule begins, and while it has not been revealed publicly, you can bet Giannis will kick it off. Myles Turner should follow soon after, and as is customary, the Bucks’ other free agent additions will likely get their own dedicated Q&As. That would include Cole Anthony and Gary Harris, but likely not two-way or training camp guys like Amir Coffey. I also expect Kevin Porter Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and perhaps Jericho Sims to sit down with the media, given they were deadline acquisitions last winter.
Whoever comes out, quotes will appear on Brew Hoop in a new piece, and you can also follow Jackson and I on Twitter and Bluesky @lohausfan and @JGrossReporter for live updates. In the meantime, Happy Media Day to those of you celebrating!
