Milwaukee Bucks Lock Up Gary Trent Jr. on Four-Year, $64M Contract

The Milwaukee Bucks have reached an agreement with swingman Gary Trent Jr. on a four-year, $64 million contract, according to a report from ESPN released Saturday.

The agreement means Trent will remain in Milwaukee, where he suited up for 139 games — including 30 starts — across his two seasons with the team.

In his debut season with the Bucks, the combo guard/forward put up 11.1 points per game, but his scoring dropped to 8.1 points per game in the 2025-26 season — the lowest single-season average of his career since his rookie campaign.

The 27-year-old initially joined Milwaukee on a league minimum contract heading into the 2024-25 season. His performance earned him a follow-up two-year deal worth $7.5 million, which he chose to opt out of this past offseason.

That decision proved to be a smart one financially. Despite the Bucks holding his bird rights, Trent attracted considerable interest from other teams around the league.

Over his career, Trent has averaged 13.0 points per game, but the size of his new contract may make him a candidate for trade talks down the road. ESPN notes that his salary in the first year of the deal will be $15.2 million.
