With trade rumours circulating seemingly weekly about the status of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee was hoping for a best-case scenario this season following a tumultuous summer. Desperate to shake things up but not having many options, they managed to add Myles Turner in the offseason and have relied on internal growth from players like 4th year guard Ryan Rollins. Turner has been disappointing though, and an injury to Antetokounmpo kept him out for much of December. Milwaukee went into free fall with that injury, culminating in where they are now: Booed off their home court following a 33-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with Antetokounmpo in the line-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Meanwhile, things have been a bit rocky for the Spurs to kick off the New Year, with just a 3-4 record in the month of January. The offense has been hit or miss, especially from beyond the 3-point line, often leading to scoring droughts that take them out of games. A struggling Milwaukee team that\u2019s clearly in disarray in front of the home crowd could be the jump start this team needs, but the struggling Bucks for the meantime still boast the services of Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">San Antonio Spurs (27-13) vs Milwaukee Bucks (17-23)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">January 15 2026 | 7:00 PM CT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Watch: FDSS | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Spurs Injuries: Devin Vassell, OUT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you\u2019d like to, you may follow along with the game on our Twitter profile (@poundingtherock) or visit our Game Thread!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It really hasn\u2019t been the sort of season the Milwaukee Bucks were hoping for.
