The Milwaukee Bucks have officially been eliminated from NBA playoff contention for the 2025-26 season.
The franchise had not missed the playoffs since the 2015-16 season but will now instead land in the NBA draft lottery.

Center Myles Turner and the Bucks fell to 29-44 on the season after losing 127-95 to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Milwaukee is 11th in the Eastern Conference standings as of Saturday afternoon.
“It’s been disappointing, obviously,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters. “Since I’ve been here, I haven’t had a healthy stretch and it’s been your key guys. It’s been (Giannis Antetokounmpo). It’s been (former Bucks guard Damian Lillard). And you hope you can play through that, but we just haven’t had the ability.”
The Bucks waived Lillard before the season, and the team has been playing chunks of this season without Antetokounmpo.
