1988–89 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1988–89 NBA season was the 21st season for the Milwaukee Bucks in the National Basketball Association.^[1] This was also the team's first season playing in the Bradley Center, after they moved there from the Milwaukee Arena, otherwise known as "The Mecca". The Bucks had the thirteenth overall pick in the 1988 NBA draft, and selected shooting guard Jeff Grayer out of Iowa State University;^[2][3][4] however, Grayer would only play just eleven games this season due to being diagnosed with the chicken pox, and suffering two knee injuries.^[5][6][7] During the off-season, the team acquired Fred Roberts from the Miami Heat expansion team.^[8][9][10]

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the 1989 NBA playoffs, the Bucks lost Game 1 to the 4th-seeded Atlanta Hawks on the road, 100–92,^[22][23][24] but managed to beat them in five games;^[25][26][27] this marked the last time the Bucks would advance to the second round until 2000–01.
