The Milwaukee Bucks do not quite look like what they usually do because they do not have several key players owing to different reasons, and the team has had a rocky start so far.
“Ain’t nothing like putting a smile on others faces. What I live for. Merry Christmas! @BPFoundation1,” Bobby Portis tweeted.
The Bucks have multiple key players, like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, out due to COVID-19 and an injury, allowing them to be granted a hardship exception in the league. Having lost three of the previous games, the Bucks are now fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The struggle can be seen in the Bucks’ recent losses to the New Orleans Pelicans (116-112) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (119-90). In the match against Cleveland, Antetokounmpo was involved in a dangerous play that took the Cavaliers player down with extreme pain.
Regardless, certain players have stepped up to help fill in the gaps. Bucks players continue to stay positive even off the court and bring holiday cheer to their community.
