Herro's Prank Fail: Bucks Debut Ends in Laughter
7 Oct
Summary
- Tyler Herro arrived in Milwaukee in a trade sending Antetokounmpo to Miami.
- Herro's prank attempt on Anthony Edwards failed during the game.
- Milwaukee faces modest expectations in their first season without Antetokounmpo.
The Milwaukee Bucks commenced their preseason schedule on Monday, October 7, 2026, with a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This inaugural appearance for the new roster resulted in a significant defeat.
Tyler Herro, acquired in the offseason trade that moved Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami, made his debut for the Bucks. During the contest, Herro attempted a prank on Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards, which ultimately failed.
Herro concluded his first preseason game with 11 points, matching Edwards' 14 points for Minnesota. Notably, LaMelo Ball also scored 11 in his Timberwolves debut, having previously played for the Charlotte Hornets, the team that eliminated Herro's Miami Heat last season.
Milwaukee faces tempered expectations as they embark on their first season without Antetokounmpo. New head coach Taylor Jenkins will implement his system, with Herro and other players expected to shoulder significant offensive responsibilities.
The Bucks have several more preseason games before commencing their regular season on October 21, 2026, on the road against the Washington Wizards.
