After two games of “reserving” this superstar pair on the bench in the NBA preseason series, the Milwaukee Bucks will unveil both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Many pre-season friendly games (NBA Preseason) were played this week, but Damian Lillard, the newly publicized transfer blockbuster, has yet to wear his new jersey.
Damian Lillard was acquired by the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team blockbuster transaction involving the Bucks, the Phoenix Suns, and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Other notable players that switched teams include big man DeAndre Ayton (from the Suns to the Blazers) and All-Star guard Jrue Holiday (from the Bucks to the Blazers and then traded to the Celtics).
Many people, both Milwaukee football enthusiasts and non-fans, were enthralled by this spectacle.They can’t wait to see what Giannis and Dame can do in real life.
Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo have yet to play in two preseason games.Fans will not have to wait long, as these two stars have set a date for their debut.
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin confirmed that Giannis and Lillard will play in the team’s next preseason game, which will take place Monday morning (October 16) in Vietnam time.The Bucks face the Los Angeles Lakers, who have a well-known rivalry with Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
“We want to see both of them test themselves in a real combat environment. I know the fans are eager to see them (Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo – Reporter) play, but getting them both on the court is a process with many steps and we don’t want to rush it,” Milwaukee Bucks captain share.
Despite not having played any official games together (they were on the same squad at NBA All-Star), Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been practicing together for several days.
Dame also stated that due to his poor physical condition, he agreed with the coaching staff that he would not participate in the early preseason.Instead, he prefers to wait until his body is in peak shape before participating.
Giannis is a perfectionist as well, having recently undergone surgery to entirely cure a knee injury sustained in the summer.
