On February 23, 2020, the Bucks became the first team to clinch a playoff berth after the Chicago Bulls defeated the Washington Wizards. The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[3] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[4] The Bucks returned to play on July 31 against the Boston Celtics at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.[5]

The Bucks were 53–9 (.855) early in March before losing three straight games before the season was suspended on March 11 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the format of the 2020 NBA Bubble announced, Bucks won the Central Division on June 4 and tied Detroit Pistons' record of 9 Central Division titles. After a 23-point comeback win over the Miami Heat, the Bucks clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season as well as the best NBA record overall for the shortened season at 56–17, or roughly 63–19 in a full season. The Bucks faced the Orlando Magic in the First Round. In a significant development following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Bucks led a strike in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, refusing to play Game 5 of their series against the Magic on August 26. On September 8, the Milwaukee Bucks season came to an end when the 5th seeded Miami Heat eliminated them in a five-game upset in the conference semifinals. This season was also Kyle Korver's last in the NBA as he spent the entire 2020–21 season as a free agent and subsequently retired on August 12, 2021, for family reasons. The 51st pick in the 2003 draft, Korver's retirement left LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Udonis Haslem as the only remaining active players from the early 2000s. Giannis also won his second mvp this season having done so the previous year.
