NBA professional basketball team season
The 2019–20 Milwaukee Bucks season is the 52nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] The Bucks enter the season following a playoff defeat in six games from the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals .
On February 23, 2020, the Bucks became the first team to clinch a playoff berth after the Chicago Bulls defeated the Washington Wizards .
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[2] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 .[3]
The Bucks returned to play on July 31 against the Boston Celtics , at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida .[4]
When the format of the Bubble announced, Bucks won the Central Division on June 4 and tied Detroit Pistons ' record of 9 Central Division titles.
After a 23 point comeback win over the Miami Heat, the Bucks clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season.
The Bucks will face the Orlando Magic in the 1st round.
