Bucks vs. Knicks, Milwaukee faces injury concerns for first time

The Milwaukee Bucks head to New York and Madison Square Garden tonight, Nov. 10, to face the defending champion Knicks in search of their first road victory of the season . The Bucks (1-9) are also looking to snap a six-game losing streak. The Knicks (5-4) have won three straight games. Bucks face injury concerns for first time Through the first 10 games of the season, the Bucks were one of the few healthy teams in the league - if not the healthiest team in the league. Only Gary Trent Jr. missed a game due to injury or illness [Nov. 8 vs. Boston] and Trent is currently not a rotation player. But, against the Celtics, starting guard Tyler Herro bruised his right knee in a scary collision, but he returned to finish the game. Then, in New York, backup center Kel’el Ware was added to the injury report with a left ankle sprain. Should either miss the game, it would be the first time that first year head coach Taylor Jenkins had to adjust his rotation patterns due to injuries. Ryan Rollins started alongside Herro for the first six games of the season before being replaced by Brayden Burries. Ware has largely been center Myles Turner’s backup, which would mean Jericho Sims would be in line for more minutes at that spot. Bucks on pace for one of worst starts ever The Bucks are currently just the third team in franchise history to start a season with one win their first 10 games, matching the teams from 1974-75 and 1993-94. This is the first season after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo. The 1974-75 team had the organization's worst opening stretch, beginning 1-11 before ending November at 6-14. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was out injured for the first 16 games of that season. The 1993-94 team was attempting a rebuild around 22-year-old Vin Baker and 25-year-old Eric Murdock, and went 1-10 to start the season and ended November with a 2-12 record. The worst overall season in franchise history was the tanking 2013-14 campaign in which the Bucks won 15 games. That Bucks team, which featured a rookie Antetokounmpo, started 2-2 before finishing November with a 3-13 mark. The last time Milwaukee lost seven straight games was last season, from Nov. 15-29, 2025.    Milwaukee Bucks probable starters Guards: Tyler Herro, Brayden Burries Forwards: Kyle Kuzma, Jaime Jaquez Jr. Center: Myles Turner Tyler Kolek shakes off Taylor Swift criticism New York guard and former Marquette University star Tyler Kolek got himself in some hot water with "Swifties" when he said Taylor Swift was the "fakest" fan and her appearances at Madison Square Garden were "performative." The comments on a social media stream caused the organization to release an official statement in defense of the pop star . The Knicks then playfully blasted Swift songs in their postgame locker room on Nov. 8 and Kolek said he was a fan of Swift. “It’s just a question that was asked for me, that maybe I answered in the wrong way. Take that on the chin,” Kolek told reporters. “I love her music. We were just playing it five minutes ago, and I’m singing every word to every song. Nothing against her at all."
