The Milwaukee Bucks were busy during the offseason as they traded for former Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard.
The Bucks now have a Big 3 of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Damian Lillard.
While Lillard was traded to the Bucks, fans haven’t gotten a chance to see him in action in a Bucks jersey yet.
Well, the wait will finally be over when the Bucks face off against the Lakers in the preseason.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the headlines for weeks following the concerning comments about his future with the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo has played for the Bucks throughout his 10 years in the league.
He has won multiple MVP awards and even led the team to an NBA Championship in 2021.
Despite the history, many believe if the Bucks hadn’t traded for Lillard, Antetokounmpo may have demanded a trade.
Giannis is still in the middle of his prime, as he has averaged 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game last season.
Antetokounmpo also helped the Bucks finish as the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Although the Bucks were shockingly eliminated by the Miami Heat in the First Round of the playoffs, they are still considered to be one of the favorites to win it all in the upcoming season.
With the Bucks getting ready to play their newly formed duo against the Lakers today, the fans are on the edge of their seats.
Will the Lillard-Antetokounmpo dominate the Lakers? Fans will find out soon.
