Will LeBron James play against the Milwaukee Bucks?

The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to get into the win column when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers in the City of Brotherly Love on Saturday. The game begins at 7:30 PM ET and will air on NBA TV, NBCS-PH, PCK-PHI, WCGV, and Bucks+.

The Bucks fell to 0-2 on Friday in an afternoon showdown against the Chicago Bulls, losing 132-125 in their home opener. The game was moved up to an earlier start time to accommodate Game 1 of the World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays.

The 76ers are coming off a historic 29-point comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers, putting them at 2-0 on the season after defeating the New York Knicks on opening night. This is the second of three home games for Philly.

This is the first meeting of the season between the teams.
