Rollins shared his excitement about the clinic, saying, “This is great, man. This is a fun experience. And coming out here and being able to ride around with and get some shots up and just have fun. It’s been a dope experience for sure.”

“I like that they collaborate together. I think it’s awesome. It, in a way, brings more awareness to disabled sports. I mean, it brings us into a light that, you know, we’ve never really had before, which is amazing,” added Gianni Quintero one of the athletes that mentor the players.

The clinic allowed the athletes, who practice twice a week, to display the excitement in wheelchair basketball.

“I feel like I’m a blessed human being. So being able to give that back to people that are a little bit underprivileged or whatever the case may be in that situation, if I can give back, I feel like that’s the best thing to do,” Rollins continued.

The Bucks also revealed that Ryan Rollins will launch a new community program, pledging to donate a book to Milwaukee Public Schools for each point he scores this season.

In Milwaukee’s recent setback against the Charlotte Hornets, Rollins turned in a strong showing. The former Toledo Rockets standout, who joined the Bucks on a three-year deal this summer, constantly challenged the Hornets on both ends. He paced the team with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting, added six assists and five rebounds, and sank four of six three-pointers over 32 minutes of play.

Ryan Rollins continues to make a significant impact for the Bucks. This season, he ranks second on the team in scoring, averaging 17.3 points per game while shooting an efficient 52.7 percent from the field.

The Bucks dropped to 7-5 following the loss to the Hornets, but they have a chance for redemption on Friday when they host Miles Bridges and the Hornets at Fiserv Forum.
