On a practical level, he spent time with his wife and son figuring out where to live and getting acclimated to their new home. In terms of basketball, Mirotic continued to work his way back from a right calf strain that has kept him out of game action since Jan. 23. Toward that end, Mirotic spent plenty of time at the team’s downtown practice facility with members of the team’s training staff undergoing treatments, doing strength and conditioning exercises as well as getting some sessions on the court. While the coaching staff spent the weekend in Charlotte, they left him plenty to study and helped him get up to speed both before and after all-star weekend.
“I told the rest of the players Niko’s the only one that worked the whole time, so you need to be more like Niko,” coach Mike Budenholzer said with a smile after the Bucks’ first practice back from the break Wednesday heading into Thursday’s 7 p.m. clash with the Boston Celtics at Fiserv Forum.
Jeff Zillgitt: Post-NBA trade deadline chatter: Was told the Raptors wanted Nikola Mirotic from Pelicans in a three-way trade with Magic, who wanted Delon Wright. Instead, Pelicans dealt Mirotic to Bucks, and Raptors pivoted to Marc Gasol. If Mirotic deal had happened, Gasol deal wouldn’t have.
Fred Katz: Brad Beal said in a promotional interview with Tissot that Denver is his surprise team in the West. In the East? “I think it’s gonna be Toronto or Milwaukee … I like the way Toronto is built. They added Marc Gasol. … (Milwaukee picking up Mirotic) is unfair in a lot of ways”
KC Johnson: Zach LaVine and his lingering sore ankles isn’t listed on Bulls injury report. Nikola Mirotic is listed as out for Bucks even though he expressed optimism he’d play. If that holds, he still won’t have played as visitor at United Center.
