Milwaukee Bucks Summer League 2021 Roster, Dates, and Complete Schedule
The Milwaukee Bucks are the current NBA champions after defeating the Phoenix Suns in six games in the 2021 NBA Finals. It was a record-breaking night for the Bucks and their franchise player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Milwaukee Bucks have brought in a few role players while maintaining their core. Although several teams are stacking their roster with elite talent, the Bucks are still top contenders.
Perhaps the biggest deal thus far Milwaukee Bucks fans could rave about is the re-signing of Bobby Portis. The forward has become a fan favorite in the Deer district following his impressive outings during the NBA playoffs.
The Milwaukee Bucks have already started preparations for the 2021 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Their mini-camp is underway, and a few players on the championship roster will feature.
Milwaukee Bucks roster for Las Vegas Summer League
As many as 14 players could suit up for the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas. Two of those will be the Bucks' 2021 NBA Draft second-round picks, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Georgios Kalaitzakis.
Below is the full roster, which is subject to change:
Jordan Nwora will be the man to look out for as he has shown how hot he can get from beyond the arc. Although team Nigeria did not get past the group stages, Nwora was sensational as he led the team in scoring despite coming off the bench. While he did not play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals, he was on the roster.
Sandro Mamukelashvili will also be fun to watch as he was described as the most bizarre player in the 2021 NBA Draft. As a 6'11 center, he can pass, shoot, lead a fastbreak, and clean the boards. It will be exciting to see how he plays at the NBA level.
D'Mitrik Trice will have to impress if he hopes to play in the NBA. Although he did not receive an invite to the official NBA Draft Combine, he will play with the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League.
As we draw closer to tip-off, we will likely see a few more players join the Milwaukee Bucks. Moreover, the Bucks are yet to make an official announcement.
