## Resource

The Milwaukee Bucks opened the 2025-26 season with a bang, a 133-120 win over the Washington Wizards and a celebration of Khris Middleton. But Kevin Porter Jr. left the game with an injury, leaving an early hole for a team that entered the season pretty healthy. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss the huge opening statement by Giannis Antetokounmpo, AJ Green's extension, Ryan Rollins absorbing big minutes, the departure of Tyler Smith (leaving the roster with zero draft picks aside from Giannis), the usage of Bobby Portis and more. Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
