Matthew Dellavedova has made an impressive start to life with his new NBA club Milwaukee.

On the first full day of exhibition matches, the Australian guard had 11 points and six assists as the Bucks edged past the Chicago Bulls 93-91.

In the Bulls' team was Dwayne Wade, playing for the first time as a professional for anyone but the Miami Heat.

The 14-year veteran and Chicago native signed with his hometown team in the off-season and was the first Bulls' player introduced to the crowd.

Wade scored six points in the two-point loss.

Playing for the first time since recovering from the serious knee injury which ruled him out of the 2015-16 NBA season and the Rio Olympics, Australian Dante Exum had six points in 21 minutes as the Utah Jazz went down 98-89 to Portland.
