Milwaukee Bucks to Tip Off Black History Month With Black Excellence Game Tomorrow, Feb. 3, Vs. Chicago Bulls
MILWAUKEE (Feb. 2, 2026) – The Milwaukee Bucks will tip off Black History Month with their annual Black Excellence Game tomorrow, Feb. 3, when they host the Chicago Bulls at 7 p.m. at Fiserv Forum.
A special Black History Month T-shirt will be available throughout February at the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum and online HERE while supplies last. A portion of the T-shirt’s proceeds will benefit the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, a local organization that provides long-term social, emotional and academic support to children from marginalized communities from kindergarten through post-secondary education.
The Bucks opened Black History Month on the road on Sunday, Feb. 1, against the Boston Celtics in the inaugural NBA Pioneers Classic, a game celebrating the 75th anniversary of the NBA Pioneers. The Bucks will continue to honor the legacy of the NBA Pioneers throughout tomorrow’s game with a special nod to their connections to the organization. Fans will hear a reflection from Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr. on his portrayal of Earl Lloyd, the first African American player to appear in an NBA game, in the movie “Sweetwater.” Naismith Hall of Famer and former Bucks General Manager Wayne Embry will also share insights on his historic impact as the NBA’s first African American General Manager in a video feature.
Tomorrow’s Black Excellence celebration will include special performances throughout the game, beginning pregame with a set from Milwaukee-native DJ Stretch. Antoine Reynolds and Cream City Chorale will perform the national anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and the halftime entertainment will feature representatives from local chapters of the Divine Nine, the nine historically African American fraternities and sororities from the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Additional performances by Bucks Entertainment and Lake Effect will highlight the MacDowell Montessori School Drumline and Ko-Thi Dance Company.
The Bucks will celebrate Black History Month throughout February, including during their annual HBCU Night, presented by Johnson Controls, on Sunday, Feb. 22, against the Toronto Raptors.
Limited tickets are still available for tomorrow’s game and all Bucks home games in February at www.bucks.com/single. For more information on the Bucks’ Black History Month celebrations, visit www.bucks.com/impact.
