Yi Jianlian Makes His Way To Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- The Yi watch has been in effect since he was drafted by the Bucks in late June. After spending most of the summer with the Chinese National Team, including an appearance in the CBA-Euroleague Challenge in Kunshan earlier this week, Yi is officially en route to the United States and is expected to join his new teammates for training camp practice on Thursday morning.

"I know he's really excited about getting here," Bucks general manager Larry Harris told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Probably his most relaxing time will be on that flight."

Bucks.com representatives will be on hand for Yi's arrival at Chicago's O'Hare Airport this afternoon and subsequent trip to Milwaukee. Check back for exclusive photos from today's events, as well as continuing coverage of Bucks training camp which can be found at Training Camp Central.
