The Milwaukee Bucks are switching their home opener against the Chicago Bulls to an afternoon start time on October 23. The game will now tip off at 3 p.m. CT instead of the usual 7 p.m., all because Game 1 of the World Series is happening that same evening in Milwaukee. The Brewers are hosting either the Cleveland Guardians or the Tampa Bay Rays in the series opener, and they earned their spot by clinching their first World Series berth since 1982. Bucks officials said they coordinated with the NBA to make the change, and the team released a statement cheering on the Brewers. They also noted a potential clash on October 31, when the Bucks are set to host the Cavaliers, which could be the night of Game 7 if the series goes the distance.
