The Wisconsin Herd announced it would sit out the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The teams general manager released a statement on Friday.
At this time we are not participating in the G League’s modified season. We commend the league for providing this opportunity while keeping health and safety as a top priority. This was a difficult decision for us, but it was made in the best interest of the Herd and the Bucks. We remain deeply committed to Oshkosh, Menominee Nation Arena and our great fans.
