The Milwaukee Bucks areon their way to China for two preseason.
New Head Coach Scott Skiles will continue pre-season preparation on the 7-day journey with games vs. the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, October 15 in Guangzhou (7 am Milwaukee, ESPN2) and Saturday, October 18 in Beijing (10:30 pm Friday, October 17, Milwaukee, ESPN2). The team will practice Tuesday after arriving in Guangzhou early Monday evening.
“The Bucks visit to China as an NBA team is a great marketing event for Milwaukee, the region and Wisconsin,” Milwaukee County Common president Tim Sheehy said. “It is part of the marquee value of having NBA basketball in this city. China is now our third largest export market. At over $1 billion dollars, the economic activity creates jobs here at home. We have a number of our members participating in this opportunity because they see value in this exposure with the NBA which is now a high profile sports entertainment business in China,” Sheehy concluded.
