They did it twice during the 1989-90 season and once during the 1990-91 campaign.
The first Bucks’ teammates to score 25+ points in the same game with both players in their 30’s was on November 6, 1968. Wayne Embry (age 31-225 days) scored 30 points and Guy Rodgers (age 33-66 days) had 26 points on November 6, 1968, in a Bucks’ loss to the Lakers.
