Gary Trent Jr. Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. remains under NBA scrutiny over the four-year, $64 million contract he signed this offseason, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic. The league has hired law firm Hecker Fink to investigate whether Trent's previous team-friendly deals were connected to a future payday once Milwaukee gained his Early Bird rights. The Bucks and Klutch Sports are cooperating, and no wrongdoing has been established. Trent averaged 8.1 points and 1.9 threes in 21.2 minutes last season. With Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Caris LeVert, and AJ Green in a crowded perimeter rotation, Trent's fantasy value should remain tied mostly to three-point shooting.

The NBA is starting an investigation surrounding shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. and the Milwaukee Bucks. Trent declined his player option with the team and entered free agency to begin the summer. Shortly after that, the Bucks and Trent agreed on a four-year, $64 million deal. This is a strange contract given that Trent posted his worst season statistically since his rookie season in 2018. Trent was playing on the veteran minimum last season, but now gets bumped to $16 million per season after posting a terrible campaign in 2025. The speculation is that the two sides had a handshake agreement that the Bucks would pay Trent this summer if he took the veteran minimum last year. The league doesn't allow handshake agreements and the manipulation of cap space. Both the Bucks and Trent could be punished if found guilty of doing this.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract to stay with the Bucks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Trent declined his $3.9 million player option to lock in the long-term deal. The veteran sharpshooter posted a quiet 2025-26, averaging 8.1 points, 1.2 assists, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.9 threes in 21.2 minutes across 65 games. His return deepens an already-jammed backcourt that includes Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., Tyler Herro, and AJ Green, so Trent's path to steady minutes looks narrow. He remains a career 38.7 percent shooter from deep, but the logjam caps his fantasy ceiling and could push Milwaukee to move another guard to clear the room.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. is expected to decline his $3.9 million player option for the 2026-27 season to enter unrestricted free agency. The 27-year-old had a quiet campaign last year, averaging 8.1 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes per game, but he remained a capable floor spacer by shooting 36.0 percent from beyond the arc. With Milwaukee reshaping its roster following the blockbuster trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Trent's departure helps clear a crowded backcourt. Newly acquired guard Tyler Herro will command heavy usage, but Trent's exit could open the door for younger pieces like Ryan Rollins to earn consistent rotation minutes. Fantasy managers can ignore Trent in standard formats until his new role is clarified.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will not play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, joining Ryan Rollins on the inactive list and further thinning the backcourt rotation. AJ Green should continue to see heavy minutes after posting 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and five three-pointers in 47 minutes in the last game, making him a solid short-term streamer. Cormac Ryan also remains a deep-league option after a 25-point effort in 38 minutes. Andre Jackson Jr. and Gary Harris could see rotation opportunities. Green looks like the safest pickup, while Ryan is more of a scoring option in deeper leagues.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will not return to Wednesday's game against Houston after exiting early with a hip contusion, finishing with one steal and three missed shots in seven minutes. His absence is notable with Milwaukee already missing multiple rotation players, which could push Andre Jackson Jr. and Cormac Ryan into larger roles the rest of the night. Trent had been trending toward deeper league relevance recently due to the injury depleted roster, so this setback adds risk for managers relying on his minutes. AJ Green and Ousmane Dieng may also see small usage bumps.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) will not return to Thursday's game against the Jazz after finishing with four points, one rebound, and one assist in 17 minutes. Trent had just returned from two straight DNP-CDs and remains outside the fantasy radar with Milwaukee tightening its rotation. Ryan Rollins and AJ Green continue to handle steady backcourt minutes, while Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) should maintain a large offensive role when active. Cam Thomas remains a situational option when depth is thin, leaving little reason to roster Trent during the fantasy playoffs.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will return from a two-game absence on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Trent Jr. recently sustained a calf contusion in a game against the Indiana Pacers, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. During the season, the 26-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup, averaging 9.6 points and 1.6 assists in 26.8 minutes. Unfortunately, Trent Jr. has not provided much fantasy production, and his performances against Charlotte have been even poorer, as he has notched 5.0 points per game across two contests.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will be absent for a second straight game on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran suffered a calf contusion in Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers and landed on the shelf Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Trent Jr. was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's action, so he shouldn't miss too much time. Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) return on Saturday will have a major impact on Milwaukee's rotation, but Trent Jr's absence should guarantee large roles for AJ Green and Ryan Rollins.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been ruled out for Friday night's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. This will mark the first game that Trent has missed this season. His production has been fairly marginal for Milwaukee, only averaged 9.6 PPG this season amidst a demotion to the bench. In his absence, expect Ryan Rollins to carry a heavier load for Milwaukee's bench. Cole Anthony is also likely to see more minutes, though Rollins is going to be the better option of the two to get into your starting lineups.
