The Milwaukee Bucks' 2024-25 NBA season schedule has been unveiled, highlighted by a season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 23. The Bucks will face a challenging early test against the Boston Celtics on October 28, rekindling their rivalry and featuring former player Jrue Holiday. Among the notable matchups is a playoff rematch with the Indiana Pacers on November 22, following Indiana's previous victory in the playoffs, intensifying the rivalry. The Bucks also will not play on Christmas for the first time in many years, a reflection of their need to regain respect after recent playoff disappointments. Additionally, the Bucks will participate in the NBA Cup, facing the Toronto Raptors, Pacers, Miami Heat, and Detroit Pistons in a competitive group stage. The Bucks aim to build chemistry between Giannis Antetokounmpo and newly acquired Damian Lillard as they seek to re-establish themselves as championship contenders.
