Although the wait for the unveiling of the entire 2017-18 schedule will have to continue, at least for a little while longer, the NBA released details of a handful games on Thursday evening. One of those games included the Milwaukee Bucks.
Far from the days of national TV droughts, the Bucks will square off with the reigning Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers live on ESPN on Friday, October 20 at 6pm Central.
Not only does that give the Bucks marquee placement as soon as the first Friday of the season, but according to an accompanying release on Bucks.
