MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks are wearing patches on their jerseys for the rest of the season to honor minority owner Junior Bridgeman. Bridgeman is a former Bucks player who died Tuesday at the age of 71. The Bucks also held a moment of silence before Thursday's game with the Los Angeles Lakers to honor Bridgeman. A video celebrating Bridgeman's life aired during a first-quarter timeout. Bridgeman played for the Bucks from 1975-84 and again in 1986-87. He bought a 10% stake in the franchise last summer.
