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.
