In case watching Giannis drive the Greek team further than expected into summer Olympics' bracket and Steph Curry roast France's dreams one miracle three at a time wasn't enough to get you amped for basketball's return, here's something else to help: The Milwaukee Bucks today revealed the schedule for their 2024-25 regular season revenge tour. 

Giannis, Dame and company will start their quest to erase last year from fans' memories on the road, playing the Philadelphia 76ers at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23, airing ESPN. Two days later, on Friday, Oct. 25, they'll host tip off for the first time at Fiserv Forum against their border rival Chicago Bulls at 7 p.m.

That's obviously far from the only notable game on the slate coming to Milwaukee this year, as the Bucks will face off against the defending champ Boston Celtics at home on Sunday, Nov. 10; host global sensation Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Jan. 8; and replay the NBA Finals once again against the Phoenix Suns on April 1. Plus there's Fiserv Forum visits from LeBron and Steph Curry as well as two In-Season Tournament games against the Toronto Raptors and our pesky newfound rivals, the Indiana Pacers. 

Perhaps the most eye-catching date on the Bucks 2024-25 schedule, however, is one without a game on it: Christmas Day. For the first time since 2018, Giannis and company won't be a part of the NBA's big holiday showcase. That being said, it's not like the league will completely ignore Milwaukee this upcoming season, as 17 games are set to be nationally televised across ABC, ESPN and (*pour one out*) TNT. 

With no further ado, here's the full 2024-25 Milwaukee Bucks regular season schedule:

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
