Report: Bucks retain Gary Trent Jr. with $64M deal

The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to terms with swingman Gary Trent Jr. on a four-year, $64 million deal on Saturday, according to an ESPN report.

The deal keeps Trent in Milwaukee, where he appeared in 139 games (30 starts) for the Bucks over the past two seasons.

The combo guard/forward averaged 11.1 points in his first season with the Bucks, but that dipped to 8.1 points in 2025-26, Trent's lowest average since his rookie year.

Trent, 27, originally signed with the Bucks for the league minimum before the 2024-25 season. He played well enough to earn a new two-year, $7.5 million deal, which he opted out of this offseason.

That turned out to be a prudent move, as he received significant market interest despite the Bucks holding his bird rights.

A career 13.0 ppg scorer, Trent could yet be the topic of trade discussions due to the size of the deal. ESPN reports that he'll make $15.2 million in the first year.
