On April 30, 2021, the Bucks clinched the Central Division for a record 10th time with a win over the Chicago Bulls.
The Bucks began their playoff run by sweeping the sixth-seeded Miami Heat in the opening round, in a rematch of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals the previous year.
[2] Roster Last transaction: May 13, 2021 Notes In November 2020, the Bucks attempted to acquire Bogdan Bogdanović through a sign-and-trade deal along with Justin James from the Sacramento Kings for Donte DiVincenzo, D. J. Wilson, and Ersan İlyasova.
[6][7][8] The trade unraveled when the NBA announced they were investigating the Bucks for having contact with Bogdanović and/or his agent before it was allowed under free agency rules.
Bogdanović would sign with the Atlanta Hawks as a restricted free agent, after the Kings extended his qualifying offer.
