Summary
- Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 37 points and grabs 14 rebounds
- Bucks never trail in 133-120 victory over Wizards
- Khris Middleton scores 23 points in return to Milwaukee
On October 23, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks opened their season with a convincing 133-120 win over the Washington Wizards. Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the Bucks, pouring in 37 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. The Bucks never trailed in the game, showcasing their offensive prowess by knocking down 18 three-pointers.
The game also featured an emotional return for former Bucks star Khris Middleton, who scored 23 points for the Wizards. Middleton, a key member of Milwaukee's 2021 championship team, received a standing ovation from the home crowd during pregame introductions and after a video tribute played during the first timeout.
However, the Bucks' victory was not without its concerns, as Kevin Porter Jr. suffered a sprained left ankle late in the first quarter and had to leave the game. The Bucks will be hoping for a speedy recovery for the young guard as they look to build on this strong start to the season.
