The Milwaukee Bucks have missed the postseason after a blowout loss to San Antonio. Coach Doc Rivers cited frequent injuries to star players and a lack of squad depth as the primary reasons for the team's frustrating 29-44 campaign.
Milwaukee Bucks can't be satisfied with the way their 2025-26 campaign is concluding.
Milwaukee Bucks / Schedule
With 9 more games to play, they already know they will miss out on a playoff spot for the first time since 2016.
Sitting at 11th place in the Eastern Conference, Bucks lost at home to the San Antonio Spurs last night 127-95.
Bucks' head coach Doc Rivers tried to explain the reasons behind Milwaukee falling to a disappointing 29-44 record:
"It's disappointing. Ever since I arrived here we didn't have a healthy squad and we were lacking important players. Giannis was missing, Lillard was missing...," Rivers started.
"You hope that you can compete that way but we didn't have the capacity to do so. This year we only had one star, all other teams have two or three."
"We needed more health. We possessed a thin squad, we knew that before the season started and things didn't go the way we hoped they would," he concluded.
