Keep an eye on how Pop manages the minutes of his young group, especially this early in the season where guys are still finding their legs and getting used to playing NBA basketball again. Speaking of Pop, the Spurs are on a road/home SEGABABA tonight, after coming in from mile-high Denver late last night no less.With that being said, it’s a fair bet that those two guys probably suit up tonight and the Milwaukee starting line-up is whole. It’s a marathon, not a sprint and Bud knows this as well as anyone not named Pop. Holiday had originally been listed as probable, but was given the night off anyway when it came time to tip-off. Mike Budenholzer appeared to take a page out of Gregg Popovich’s handbook when he sat Lopez and Holiday against the Heat.Spurs Injuries: Zach Collins (Out - Ankle), Devontae Cacok (Out - Not With Team)īucks Injuries: Bobby Portis (hamstring - OUT) Jrue Holiday (heel - probable) Brook Lopez (back - OUT), Semi Ojeleye (OUT) What to watch for San Antonio Spurs (1-1) vs Milwaukee Bucks (1-1) It would also be a phenomenal start to the week, as the schedule over the next 7 days features 3 games against the last 2 NBA champions and another against interstate rivals and 2021 playoff team the Dallas Mavericks. Holiday, who left Tuesday’s opener against the Brooklyn Nets in the first half with a heel contusion, was originally listed as probable for the Miami game but was a late scratch from the line-up by head coach Mike Budenholzer, while Lopez was sidelined with back soreness.Ī win against the champs would do wonders for the confidence of this young group this early in the season. The duo of Antetokounpo and Khris Middleton both logged fewer than 25 minutes and the Bucks were already without two starters, as both Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez were listed on the injury report as out with minor injuries. Milwaukee, who returned most of their roster after last year’s championship run, are coming off a blowout 135-97 loss to the Miami Heat Thursday night that felt more like a continuation of the preseason than a regular season game. A night after taking on the reigning MVP and championship hopeful Denver Nuggets in the Mile High City, they return home for their first SEGABABA of this young season when they welcome the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks and their superstar, Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to the AT&T Center. For the Spurs, there’s no time to rest on their laurels.
