The Milwaukee Bucks have been underwhelming for most of the 2025-26 NBA season. Most of it has to do with Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s various injuries, which have limited him to just 36 games. Additionally, the team’s roster doesn’t have any other star outside of Antetokounmpo.
This has made Doc Rivers‘ job as head coach extremely challenging. Before the campaign started, the Bucks expected to be in the playoff race. However, they’ll likely finish the season outside of the top 10 standings in the Eastern Conference.
As of this writing, the Bucks are 11th in the standings with a 31-47 record. The team ahead of them, the Miami Heat, has 41 wins. Given that Milwaukee has four games left, they won’t catch up to the Heat and qualify for the Play-In Tournament.
