Tyler Herro Iffy for Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks due to a right knee contusion. Herro briefly left Sunday's 117-97 loss to Boston before returning and finishing with 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting. The 26-year-old has played all 10 games this season and leads Milwaukee with 21.4 points per game while adding 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists. His absence would leave a struggling Bucks offense without its top scorer, with Brayden Burries and Ryan Rollins likely to take on larger roles if Herro is ruled out.

Tyler Herro Scores Preseason-High 18 Points Against Hornets
Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro scored 18 points in 23 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to the Charlotte Hornets, adding seven rebounds and two assists. He shot 6-for-13 from the field, 3-for-6 from three, and 3-for-3 at the line. Herro's scoring has climbed from 11 to 13 to 18 points through three exhibitions, and he's shooting 8-for-16 from deep. The 26-year-old underwent a foot procedure in April, so his healthy start is encouraging. With Giannis Antetokounmpo now in Miami, Herro should have plenty of chances to score and create in Milwaukee's new-look offense.

Gary Trent Jr. Remains Under NBA Investigation
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.

Tyler Herro Embraces Underdog Role With Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro stated he carries a massive "chip on my shoulder" because outsiders doubt the roster, per Lily Zhao. The 26-year-old arrives in Wisconsin following a productive 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 33 appearances. With Giannis Antetokounmpo no longer in the picture, Herro is poised to operate as the primary perimeter creator and high-volume scoring option. Fantasy managers should expect his usage rate to spike significantly as he runs pick-and-rolls with Myles Turner, potentially pushing his assist numbers well above last season's mark while maintaining elite scoring output.

Brayden Burries Stars in Bucks' Win Over the 76ers
Milwaukee Bucks guard Brayden Burries has been a breakout at Summer League, and he punctuated the run with a summer-high 27 points in Saturday's narrow win over the 76ers. He chipped in five assists, four rebounds, one steal, and one block, shooting 9-for-18 from the field and 5-for-7 at the line. He entered the day averaging 22.3 points across his previous three Vegas outings, pairing shot-making with playmaking and disruptive defense. The No. 10 pick lands in a deep Bucks backcourt, but that two-way completeness gives a rebuilding Milwaukee team every reason to find him rookie-year minutes.

NBA to Investigate Gary Trent Jr.'s Contract
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.

Brayden Burries Leads Milwaukee Against the Spurs
Milwaukee Bucks guard Brayden Burries provided 26 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's 90-80 Summer League loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The No. 10 pick shot 9-for-16 from the field and 4-for-5 from three-point range, easily his best scoring performance of the summer. Burries has now scored 12, 18, and 26 points in his first three Summer League outings. The defensive stats made this line even more useful, but his early fantasy value still depends on earning a real role in Milwaukee's guard rotation.

Gary Trent Jr. Re-Signs With Milwaukee on Four-Year Deal
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.

Gary Harris Moves to Detroit
Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Harris is being traded to the Detroit Pistons along with Taurean Prince in exchange for Caris LeVert and two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Harris picked up his $3.82 million player option for 2026-27 last month, but his fantasy outlook remains limited after a low-usage season in Milwaukee. The 31-year-old averaged 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 48 games last season. The move gives Harris a fresh landing spot, but he will need more than spot minutes to re-enter the fantasy conversation.

Caris LeVert Traded to the Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring guard/forward Caris LeVert and two second-round picks from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 31-year-old struggled in his lone season with Detroit, averaging 7.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 60 games. While the move provides Milwaukee with another veteran ball-handler as they retool their roster following the blockbuster trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a fantasy resurgence is unlikely. The Bucks also recently acquired Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr., creating a crowded perimeter rotation alongside Kevin Porter Jr. LeVert will need to overcome this logjam and show vastly improved efficiency to carve out value, making him an afterthought for fantasy managers until he secures a definitive role.

Brandon Boston Jr. Scores 18 Points in Bucks Summer League Loss
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Brandon Boston Jr. led the team in scoring for the second straight game Sunday, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 28 minutes in an 89-69 California Classic loss to Brooklyn. Boston also paced Milwaukee with 17 points in Saturday's win over Warriors Blue, so he is making the most of an early audition. The fantasy angle is still thin until he earns a regular-season roster spot, but his shot creation and minutes load are worth tracking in Las Vegas.

Kam Jones Lands Two-Way Deal With Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks and guard Kam Jones agreed to a two-way deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Jones was the No. 38 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and now returns to Wisconsin after starring at Marquette, where he averaged 19.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists as a senior. He had a limited NBA role last season, averaging 4.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 16.6 minutes across 37 games. Jones has some secondary playmaking appeal, but Milwaukee's guard mix leaves him more likely to spend time with the Wisconsin Herd than carry steady fantasy value.

Gary Trent Jr. to Decline $3.9 Million Option and Hit the Open Market
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.

Kevin Porter Jr. Exercises $5.39 Million Option to Stay with Bucks
Point guard Kevin Porter Jr. is exercising his $5.39 million player option to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks for 2026-27, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. The combo guard stays put as Milwaukee reshapes its roster following the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. Porter was productive before the injury ended his season, averaging 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.2 steals over 38 games. He shot a career-best 46.5 percent from the field but just 32.2 percent from three-point range. Antetokounmpo's departure opens up shot creation, but the backcourt got crowded in a hurry. Newly acquired Tyler Herro projects to handle the ball, and Ryan Rollins played well as a fill-in starter, averaging 22.5 points and 5.8 assists when Porter was sidelined. His assists and steals keep Porter valuable, though his usage may not climb as much as the headline change implies.

Pistons Remain Interested in Tyler Herro
Milwaukee Bucks new guard Tyler Herro might not be with his new organization for long. The Detroit Pistons were reportedly interested in Herro before he was traded to the Bucks in a blockbuster deal on Monday. Despite the move, Detroit is rumored to still be pursuing Herro, assuming the Bucks would be interested in trading him. The expectation is that the Bucks want to keep Herro and attempt to build around him. If that happens, the Pistons will likely need to turn their attention elsewhere, such as Norman Powell, with Austin Reaves signing a long-term deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. If Herro is off the table, Powell might be the next best option as the Pistons attempt to add more scoring talent alongside Cade Cunningham.
