According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, free-agent guard Gary Trent Jr. signed a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Trent joins his former Blazers teammate Damian Lillard in Wisconsin. Last year, the 25-year-old posted 13.7 points, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.6 rebounds across 71 contests during his final season in Toronto. He was most likely signed to provide depth to the Bucks' backcourt that needed help. Playing on a championship-caliber team, Trent could have an impact in fantasy and could see plenty of minutes on the court for his new team.
The Toronto Raptors are unlikely to agree on a new contract with Gary Trent Jr. TSN's Josh Lewenberg has reported that Trent Jr.'s camp has been looking for a raise from last year's $18.5 million, but the Raptors were only willing to offer around $15 million per year when free agency opened. According to Lewenberg, that offer is off the table now, and Trent Jr.'s return to Toronto is "increasingly unlikely." The 25-year-old isn't expected to receive the money he is after elsewhere either, with an unnamed league insider telling Lewenberg that Trent Jr. would be "lucky" to get the mid-level exception, valued at $12.5 million. Trent Jr. averaged 13.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 28.1 minutes with the Raptors last season.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is set to rejoin the action on Friday against Miami. He'll return to the lineup after missing one game with back spasms. Gradey Dick will likely be pushed to the bench by Trent Jr.'s return, although he should still have a big part to play in the rotation. April has gone well for Trent Jr. so far, as he's averaged 22.3 points with 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists. However, he finds himself in an uncomfortable matchup on Friday against a Heat squad that's strong defensively.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with Miami. He also carried the designation on Wednesday due to back spasms prior to a meeting with Brooklyn, and Trent Jr. ended up missing the game. The Raptors have nothing left to play for, which could be affecting the team's lineup choices for the final few regular-season games. Youngsters Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji have gotten a lot of burn in recent times to aid their development, and they should be in big roles again on Friday if the team can't get any of its injured guys back.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He is still dealing with back spasms and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. Trent surprisingly missed Wednesday's game after he was initially not on the injury report. With only 23 wins on the season, the Raptors do not have much urgency to rush him back onto the court if he is not completely healthy. If he is unable to play, more minutes will likely go to Immanuel Quickley and Javon Freeman-Liberty.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) won't feature against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. After resting on Tuesday against the Lakers, Trent Jr. was initially expected to play but back spasms will keep him out from the contest. Following his return on Tuesday, RJ Barrett (knee) will get the night off, along with Kelly Olynyk (rest), so Immanuel Quickley should feature very heavily on offense for the team. Javon Freeman-Liberty, Gradey Dick, and Jordan Nwora will also have a chance to shine.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (rest) will get the night off on Tuesday against the Lakers. He'll be in street clothes as the team kicks off a back-to-back. With the Raptors' lineup very thin lately, Trent Jr. has been one of the squad's top scoring options. He averaged 20.8 points per game through March with 17.3 shot attempts. Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) appear ready to take over the baton offensively on Tuesday, with both players regarded as probable for the contest. Trent Jr. should hop back into the lineup on Wednesday versus Minnesota.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is expected to suit up against the Wizards. He was a late addition to Friday's injury report and ultimately was ruled out heading into the Raptors' loss to Oklahoma City. Javon Freeman-Liberty moved into the starting lineup, with the rookie finishing with 10 points, the second double-digit scoring performance of his brief career. Once again, Toronto won't have RJ Barrett (personal) and Immanuel Quickley (personal), meaning Trent, averaging nearly 17 shot attempts in his previous eight appearances, should remain heavily involved, assuming he gets the green light. Unfortunately, Trent's anticipated return may limit the ceiling of Gradey Dick, who scored 21 points on Friday evening.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) has unexpectedly popped up on the injury report on Friday afternoon and is now considered questionable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's listed with lower back stiffness and the Raptors are only competing for the number-one pick in the NBA Draft, so they're not going to force Trent to play if he's not 100% healthy. If he's downgraded to out, which seems more likely with this late of an injury report, that would mean all five starters are out for this game. Jahmi'us Ramsey would likely move into the starting five along with Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick. All three could be considered streaming options, but they'll have an uphill battle against a playoff contending Thunder team.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Trent is back in the mix following a two-game absence due to a right groin strain. The expectation is that Trent will move back into the starting five, which should shift Gradey Dick to the second unit. However, Dick is still worth holding in deep leagues for the moment. Trent is likely to see a bigger role on offense with RJ Barrett (personal) away from the team for some time.
