In the NBA Tuesday night the Bucks returned home but still lost their fourth straight as Toronto upended Milwaukee 124-113. Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 34 points and Pat Connauthon had 20 off the bench. Fred Van Fleet led the Raptors with 33 as they had six players in double figures. The loss drops the Bucks to 16-12 in the Eastern Conference, a game behind Brooklyn and two behind division-leading Philadelphia. Toronto improved to 13-15 in the East. Milwaukee hosts Toronto again on Thursday.
The Milwaukee Bucks will allow a limited number of fans at home games at Fiserv Forum. The team received approval from the Milwaukee Health Department to allow 10 percent capacity. That’s about 1,800 fans. The Bucks are starting with a phased-in approach. The next three games will be for player families and invited guests. They’ll start with 250 capacity. On Thursday, that will grow to 500 people and then 750 fans on Friday. The general public will be welcome on Sunday, Feb. 21. The team will allow 1,800 fans at the game against the Sacramento Kings. During the second half of the season, the Milwaukee Health Department will decide on increasing capacity to 25 percent. Fans will be seated within 30 feet of the court. They will be required to take a rapid COVID-19 test before entering Fiserv Forum. The Bucks will give those tests to fans. Fans will also have to follow safety protocols.
Two familiar faces appear to be on their way back to the Brewers, who reportedly agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract to bring back free-agent left-hander Brett Anderson and a Minor League deal with third baseman Travis Shaw on Tuesday. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the agreement with Anderson. A source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand that Shaw’s deal would pay him $1.5 million with another $1.5 million in incentives if he makes the club. He can opt out of the contract on March 15 if he’s not on the roster. The club has not confirmed either of the moves, which are pending physicals.
Shaw, 30, was a top producer for Milwaukee in 2017 and ’18, when he exceeded 30 home runs and 3.5 fWAR each season. But he slumped in 2019 and spent much of the year in the Minors, then signed with Toronto and posted a .717 OPS in 50 games in 2020. The Blue Jays non-tendered Shaw rather than take him through arbitration.
Wisconsin remains #21 this week in the latest AP Top 25 rankings. The Badges, 15-7, lost at home to Michigan over the weekend. Undefeated Gonzaga remains number 1, followed by Baylor, Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois. Houston, Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Villanova round out the top ten.
