He may not be a native Milwaukeean, but Peter Feigin is now the proud holder of a key to our city. The former president of the Milwaukee Bucks was presented with the key at a Fiserv Forum ceremony Thursday morning. Feigin has stepped away from the Bucks organization after 12 years. He was instrumental in the team's success during that period, and he played a big role in the construction of Fiserv Forum and the creation of Deer District.
Sources have said the uncertainty around Antetokounmpo has led to tension in the locker room and an uneasy environment. It has crept to the fan base as well. The Bucks were down 31 points at halftime against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Jan. 13, but when fans at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee booed the home team heading into the half, Antetokounmpo took it personally. After making a layup in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo booed the home fans right back.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged a tough start as Oklahoma City Thunder raced to a 38-18 first-quarter lead in Wednesday’s 122-102 loss at Fiserv Forum. “For some reason, we weren’t moving the ball as much. The ball was sticking a lot,” Giannis said. “They move the ball very, very, very well. Whenever we tried to double-team Shai, he was making the right pass to his teammate. We didn’t do our job. We played a lot of one-on-one, and with this team, you can’t play one-on-one.”
With the Milwaukee Bucks down by more than 30 points heading into halftime of Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the fans at Fiserv Forum booed the team as it exited the court. So, after Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the first basket of the third quarter, a layup over Wolves forward Julius Randle followed by a foul that knocked Antetokounmpo to the court, the Bucks' two-time MVP responded in kind: gesturing with two thumbs-down and booing the Milwaukee crowd as he sat on the court underneath the basket. Antetokounmpo said after the 139-106 loss that it was the first time he can remember being booed at his home arena. "Whenever I get booed, I boo back," Antetokounmpo said after scoring 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
Peter Feigin is stepping down as the Milwaukee Bucks’ president after a 12-season run overseeing the team’s business operations. Josh Glessing, who has been working as the Haslam Sports Group’s chief of strategy and development, will be taking over for Feigin. The two will be working together over the next months while the transition takes place. Feigin joined the Bucks in 2014 and was in place for the 2018 opening of Fiserv Forum as well as the championship season of 2020-21 while strengthening the team’s ties to the Milwaukee community.

Before falling to a fifth straight loss in the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season, Doc Rivers revealed that Giannis Antetokounmpo will follow the Milwaukee Bucks on an upcoming two-game road trip, but will not necessarily play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday or the New York Knicks on Friday. The Greek Freak has already been sidelined for one week due to left adductor strain. Therefore, bouncing back over the next few team outings would fit the initial projections on the recovery timeline. Back home after the trips to Miami and New York, the Bucks will host the Brooklyn Nets in Fiserv Forum on Saturday.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony was ejected with 10 minutes, 40 seconds left to go in the team's 135-133 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 1 at Fiserv Forum he received his second technical foul for arguing with referees. The Bucks were already playing without starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr., who suffered a knee injury during a workout. That left the Bucks with just Ryan Rollins and Anthony as primary ball handlers in the back court. "That definitely hurt the team," Bucks' forward Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged. "We, as a team, have to be smarter, not just Cole. We gotta pull him away from the ref before. When he has his first one, we gotta talk to him to kind of calm down and don't get your second one because we need you in the game. (Porter) is not playing, like, we need you in the game. You gotta stay locked in.
Thursday was just one of those nights for the Warriors. Golden State was defeated 120-110 by the Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) at Fiserv Forum, in what was an impressive team effort by Milwaukee. Warriors coach Steve Kerr explained to reporters postgame -- with a genuine laugh -- how Golden State has consistently struggled over the years in games when its opponents are missing marquee players. “It shouldn't be that way, because we're like 0-12 the last couple of years when the stars don't play,” Kerr said. “I just told our coaches, ‘If I [were] an opposing coach, I would just sit the star every time.’”
Baxley points to the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody Center, which Gensler helped design, as an example of a sunken arena that flows into a public plaza. The firm also helped design the Milwaukee Bucks’ Deer District, a mixed-use neighborhood outside the team’s new Fiserv Forum that includes a public plaza, entertainment venues, restaurants and retail. The idea of the extending the arena into downtown’s streets with outward-facing concessions and retail is somewhat novel, Baxley said. His model shows large canopies extending over First and Hennepin, creating shopping arcades that provide some shelter from the weather.
Jim Owczarski: The #Bucks play the #Pistons tonight at Fiserv Forum. Doc Rivers said Giannis Antetokounmpo is OUT. Kevin Porter Jr. did not finish practice yesterday, but Rivers said the trainers gave him the "thumbs up" afterward. So, I guess we'll see what all that means today pregame. #NBASky

On May 30, the Milwaukee Bucks announced that Fiserv Forum has been awarded platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. It is the second NBA arena to earn this distinction, joining Portland's Moda Center, and the first such venue in Wisconsin.
Fiserv Forum, which received gold designation in 2022, improved water and waste by adding touchless faucets and implementing the Orca Food Digester to help reduce food waste. In addition, the building added Bublr Bikes and a Lyft station to encourage walking, biking and ridesharing. Fiserv Forum improved human experience by installing Kaiterra sensors, which monitor air quality inside buildings and workplaces.
In the Bucks’ 117-101 Game 3 win, Trent scored a career playoff-high 37 points, which included knocking down nine 3s to tie the Bucks franchise record for most triples in a playoff game. The Bucks trail in the series 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET at Fiserv Forum. “One thing I told the team when they were trying to get Gary here and I was trying to make that connection and bring him here was I told them this is one of the most confident players that I’ve played with,” Lillard said after Friday’s game. “Unshakeable guy. His confidence is steady. His work ethic is steady. Very stubborn. And he’s a guy that’s not going to fold up when moments come. And he’ll be there. “That was one thing I would have stood on the whole time with Gary. When he has a performance like tonight, I know how much he really believes in himself. Some people believe when it’s going well, some people kind of get down on themselves, but I know his thoughts of himself, the true confidence. This type of game does not surprise me by him and it came at a time when we needed it.”
The Pelicans lost their final road game of the season Thursday night, falling to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks 136-111 at Fiserv Forum. This latest loss came just four days after the Pelicans lost to the Bucks 111 -107 at Smoothie King Center in a game Antetokounmpo missed due to rest. Antetokounmpo made his presence felt in this one, finishing with 28 points, 11 rebounds and five assists as the Bucks pulled away in the third quarter.
