The Milwaukee Bucks’ quest for back-to-back NBA titles in 2022 features the core players from last season’s team as well as a mix of newcomers and veterans.
One of the players that made the final roster is D’Tigers forward, Jordan Nwora. The 23-year old who has been a core member of Nigeria men’s national team is in his second year with the Bucks.
The full list is Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Wesley Matthews, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Grayson Allen, Serge Ibaka and George Hill. Others are Jevon Carter, Jordan Nwora, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Rayjon Tucker, Luca Vildoza, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Lindell Wigginton
