The Milwaukee Bucks celebrated their 2024 Emirates NBA Cup victory by unveiling a championship banner at Fiserv Forum, despite mixed reactions on social media. Critics pointed out the disparity between the NBA Cup and traditional championships, with some labeling the banner as a mere 'participation trophy.'

In their ongoing game against the Washington Wizards, the Bucks led 63-50 at halftime, even with star players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard resting. Bobby Portis shone with 23 points, while Khris Middleton made his return to the starting lineup.
