Save for later

The Milwaukee Bucks are going to have an afternoon tip-off for their Oct. 23 home opener with the Chicago Bulls to avoid a direct conflict with Game 1 of the World Series. The Bucks announced Friday their home opener would take place at 3 p.m. Central time rather than 7 p.m. The Milwaukee Brewers will be hosting either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series that night.

The Brewers clinched their first World Series berth since 1982 on Thursday by completing an NL Championship Series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
