If you check your clocks, you may notice it’s officially Dame Time in Milwaukee.
After the Bucks shocked the sports world by motioning to acquire Damian Lillard from the Trail Blazers, the seven-time All-Star is set to take part in his first official action when Milwaukee hosts Philadelphia to open the 2023-24 season.
Fittingly, Lillard and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo begin a promising partnership against an Eastern Conference rival in the 76ers, who will look to stay among the class of the East with reigning MVP Joel Embiid leading the charge.
Lillard, who is coming off one of the best statistical seasons of his career, is ready to make his mark in Milwaukee after spending the first 11 seasons of his career in Portland
Here is everything you need to know in order to watch Lillard suit up for Milwaukee for the first time.
