The 2019–20 Milwaukee Bucks season was the 52nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] The Bucks entered the season following a playoff defeat in six games from the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On February 23, 2020, the Bucks became the first team to clinch a playoff berth after the Chicago Bulls defeated the Washington Wizards.

The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[2] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[3]

The Bucks returned to play on July 31 against the Boston Celtics, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.[4]

When the format of the Bubble announced, Bucks won the Central Division on June 4 and tied Detroit Pistons' record of 9 Central Division titles. After a 23-point comeback win over the Miami Heat, the Bucks clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season. The Bucks faced the Orlando Magic in the first round.

In a significant development following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Bucks struck in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protests, refusing to play Game 5 of their series against the Magic on August 26.

On September 8, the Milwaukee Bucks season came to an end when the 5th seeded Miami Heat eliminated them in a five-game upset in the conference semifinals.
