Bucks show love to Lopez
The Bucks organization and fans showed plenty of love to Brook Lopez in his return to Milwaukee. The 18-year veteran spent seven seasons with the franchise from 2018-2025, and was an integral piece of their 2020-21 title team.
You will always hold a special place in our history Brook. 💚 pic.twitter.com/afmNNre07Z

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers take on Gary Trent, Jr. and the Bucks in Milwaukee while attempting to win their fifth straight contest (3:30 ET, NBA TV). Ryan Rollins will miss the matinee affair due to a hip injury on the second day of a back-to-back for the home team.
In the first of two primetime matchups to tip Sunday Night Basketball, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder look to make it six straight wins versus Jalen Brunson and the Knicks (7:30 ET, NBC/Peacock). Oklahoma City will try to extend their two-game advantage over the red-hot San Antonio Spurs for the top seed in the Western Conference, while New York hopes to shrink their 1.5-game deficit behind the second-place Boston Celtics in the East.

In the nightcap, the Warriors and Nuggets put their win streaks on the line in a Western Conference showdown with plenty of playoff positioning at stake (10 ET, NBC/Peacock). Golden State has won three in a row after posting a 2-8 record in their previous 10 games, and Denver takes aim at a sixth consecutive dub while gaining some ground on the third-place Los Angeles Lakers, who currently hold a 1.5-game edge in the standings.
