Spirited first practice minus John Salmons

The Bucks officially got the 2010-'11 campaign under way Tuesday at the Cousins Center with a spirited practice led by center Andrew Bogut and point guard Brandon Jennings.

But the Bucks had to do without shooting guard John Salmons, who was sidelined with a slightly sprained right knee and could miss a few days of practice, according to Bucks coach Scott Skiles. Forward Corey Maggette, still recovering from off-season surgery on his left ankle, watched from the sideline and later took a turn on the stationary bike.

Jennings was yelling and chirping during the two-plus hour workout and clearly was excited to be back on the Cousins Center practice court. The Bucks held their full-contact drills in the morning and were scheduled for a non-contact session later in the day.
