Just three months after the Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns for the N-B-A championship, they’re getting back to work on Tuesday of next week.
That’s not much time to savor the first title for the franchise in 50 years.
The championship banner will be raised and the new season with tip-off Tuesday when the Brooklyn Nets visit the Fiserv Forum.
The break was even shorter for Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, who left for Tokyo right after the Milwaukee parade and won the basketball gold medal at the Olympics.
There are two exhibition games left before the Bucks start chasing another title.
Milwaukee is in Utah tonight (October 13th).
