This wasn’t the way Wesley Matthews’ envisioned his Milwaukee Bucks homecoming coming to an end.
The 33-year-old’s high-profile return to Wisconsin coincided with this year’s Bucks squad crafting one of the best seasons in their franchise history and dabbled with achieving feats few teams have done throughout league history. And Matthews obviously played an integral role in solidifying the Bucks’ starting unit and experienced a level of success that he’s searched for throughout his 11-year NBA career.
But, as hopes of the season continuing gradually dim, given the gravity of this worldwide pandemic, Matthews’ shot at glory and a storybook return to his home state has been put on hold.
