Lillard, Middleton and Giannis also didn’t play in Memphis, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo was positive in limited time

A must-win game for the Grizzlies and Bucks in Memphis and an opportunity for the youth as the hosts have to make do without Morad, Smart, Clark, Adams and guests Lillard, Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks’ second preseason game was in Memphis, again without their three best players. As against the Chicago Bulls, Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play against the Grizzlies, while Adrian Griffin hoped to play the first and third games against the Lakers in Los Angeles in the early hours of Monday, October 16th Middleton is aiming for the premiere of the year.

The Milwaukee team started with a limited quality rotation, had the reserve player Cam Payne and the additional shooter AJ Green in its composition for the first time, but will certainly quickly forget this procedural game (108-102 defeat). Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder were the two standouts with 13 and 14 points respectively, while Thanasis Antetokounmpo was positive with his 8:58 minutes (3 points, 1/3 2-pointers, 1/2 shots, 5 rebounds).

In the truest sense of the word, little from the Bucks, who have three friendly games against the Lakers, Thunder and Grizzlies before the opening game with the Sixers in Milwaukee (beginning of October 27th, 2:30 a.m.).

Loose and Memphis, playing without Marcus Smart, Brandon Clark and Steven Adams, did not have the suspended Ja Morad and gave Desmond Bane – Jaren Jackson Jr. 24 and 26 minutes. These two stood out with 21 and 17 points, respectively, in a preseason that isn’t easy to watch if you’re not a die-hard NBA fan.

ADETOKUMBO: “Disrespectful. Don’t ask me this question”

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.

To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”

On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.

NBA: Utah and Mikhailiuk created a sensation, Antetokounmpo’s brilliant return

Nine games were played in the NBA regular season on the night of December 27-28.

Utah then kept the opponent at bay for more than 10 points until the middle of the fourth quarter, when Spurs equalized the score – 106:106, thanks to a 14:2 breakthrough. However, the home team could not achieve this success and failed at the end of the match. In the last three minutes of the game, San Antonio scored 2 points and lost them with a score of 2:11 and had a score of 114:127 throughout the match.

Svyatoslav Mikhayyuk He was in Utah’s starting five and stayed on the field for 14 minutes, during which time he scored 3 points (1/1 three-pointers), also made 1 rebound and 1 assist with 1 loss and 1 foul.

The most productive player of the match was Vembanyama, who brought 32 points to Spurs, but this did not help them achieve positive results. Jazz has 29 points from Markkanen and 28 points from George.

“Chicago” lost at home to “Milwaukee”, where Giannis Antetokounmpo returned.

The Bucks gained a minimal advantage in the first quarter and then gradually increased it, eventually winning all quarters of the match and winning with a score of 103:112.
