Good morning, Bucks fans. Today, the NBA has another serving of exhibition games, including this morning’s tilt between the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings.
In case you missed it, Eric Bledsoe is back with the team.

Welcome back, Bled. The only Buck missing from the roster is Pat Connaughton, but getting a starter back during the scrimmage portion of the bubble schedule is a clutch (Klutch?) move indeed.
Some updates from the morning from our favorite beat writers:
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton played 21 minutes in the Bucks' first scrimmage on Thursday.

Mike Budenholzer just told us he thinks they will both play less today before the Bucks ramp both back up over 20 minutes again in their third and final scrimmage.
Per Mike Budenholzer, Eric Bledsoe will not be available for today's scrimmage against the Kings.

Bud says Thanasis is still sore after his hard fall the other day and Mason is a bit banged up from the previous scrimmage and practice. https://t.co/rBXRA2D8Bz
