The Milwaukee Bucks are 10-1, the best record in the NBA. Their 10th win was a hard-fought double overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. Many, perhaps, did not expect the Bucks to win that game due to the players that sat out. In that contest, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Jrue Holiday (ankle) sat out along with Khris Middleton, Pat Connaughton, and Joe Ingles. Fortunately, Jevon Carter had a career night and Brook Lopez erupted late to lead the Bucks to a 136-132 win. They will need the same kind of production against the San Antonio Spurs tonight, as all five of the players who sat out in Oklahoma City will sit out again. The Athletic‘s Eric Nehm broke the news on Twitter yesterday evening.
The Bucks have submitted their injury report for tomorrow night's game in San Antonio.
