Taylorsville • Apparently planning to promote him from Wisconsin of the G League, the Milwaukee Bucks kept former Jazz forward Joel Bolomboy from making a homecoming appearance Wednesday night in the Salt Lake City Stars’ home opener.

The Herd could have used Bolomboy in the second half. But after losing a 23-point lead, Wisconsin steadied itself in a 103-97 victory in front of 2,100 fans at Salt Lake Community College’s Bruin Arena.

Wisconsin (2-0) scored the game’s first 15 points and went ahead by 23 points in the second quarter before settling for a 57-41 halftime lead.
