Kruger gets reserve time at the point for Bucks

Kevin Kruger scored eight points in 13 minutes off the bench Monday night for Milwaukee in the Bucks’ 117-79 exhibition defeat to Minnesota.

The former UNLV point guard hit the only shot he attempted and went 5-for-5 at the line. Kruger dished out three assists and had two turnovers in his bid to make the Bucks’ roster.

That will be challenging, since Milwaukee has point guards Luke Ridnour, Tyronn Lue and Ramon Sessions.

Ridnour (knee tendinitis) and Lue (groin) did not play against Minnesota at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

Sessions started, played 35 minutes and scored 11 points, going 3-for-11 from the field and 5-for-8 at the free-throw line. He had six assists and five turnovers.

The Bucks play three times in the next five nights, then they depart for a preseason tour of China.

Two seasons ago, Kruger led the Rebels to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1991.
