Milwaukee Bucks

Significant injuries to two of the Milwaukee Bucks’ top players defined a disappointing 2022-23 season. Three-time All-Star Khris Middleton missed 41 games during the regular season due to wrist and knee issues. Then Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a lower back contusion in Game 1 of the First Round of the playoffs and missed Games 2 and 3 recovering. Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo was unable to rally the Bucks back from a 2-1 deficit and a team that finished with the best regular season record in the NBA was suddenly sent home.

Since 2016, Head Athletic Trainer Scott Faust and Vice President of Performance Dr. Troy Flanagan have led one of the team’s top-rated staffs in recent seasons. Together they will look to recapture their prior success to return the Bucks to championship contention. Their team was bolstered in the offseason with the addition of Jessica Cohen. Cohen spent the previous four seasons with Portland Trailblazers, including last season when she served as the Head Athletic Trainer. Her prior role should prove valuable as she will have an advantageous familiarity with All-Star guard Damian Lillard who was traded to the Bucks in late September.
