All games can be heard on the BMO Bucks Radio Network with Ted Davis providing the play-by-play.
“We’re thrilled to resume our season in Orlando thanks to the league’s extensive plan that puts everyone’s health and safety first,” said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst. “We commend Adam Silver for his steady leadership during the hiatus and for working closely with the National Basketball Players Association to produce comprehensive protocols that will enable us to complete the season and to crown an NBA champion. Our players are excited to get back on the court. While we will miss the opportunity of playing in front of our fans at Fiserv Forum, we will be grateful for Bucks fans cheering us on from afar.”
Possible play-in games between the conferences’ 8th and 9th seeds will be held August 15 and 16, with a traditional playoff schedule set to begin August 17.
NBA Playoffs will proceed in a traditional conference-based format with four rounds and best-of-seven series in each round.
