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

By Thomson Reuters Jul 11, 2026 | 8:34 PM

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.
