The Bucks’ regular season schedule will also include games as part of the league’s inaugural In-Season Tournament, which will consist of Group Play and Knockout Round games. Milwaukee, which is part of East Group B, will tip off Group Play action at home against the Knicks on Nov. 3. The Bucks will also host the Wizards on Nov. 24 and play on the road against the Hornets on Nov. 17 and against the Heat on Nov. 28 to complete their Group Play schedule.

The Knockout Rounds of the league’s new annual competition are slated to take place between Dec. 4 and Dec. 9, with eight teams advancing to the Quarterfinals.
