Bucks guard Tyler Herro said he wants to "move on" from his physical altercation with former teammate Bam Adebayo last week in Las Vegas and is "focused on the next chapter in Milwaukee." "Honestly, I'm just trying to move past all of it," Herro told ESPN. "I'm focused on Milwaukee and building something special. They obviously just traded the greatest player in their history, so we want to come in and help continue what they've been doing." Herro added that if he had to play anywhere other than the Miami Heat, where he was named Sixth Man of the Year in 2022 and an All-Star during the 2024-25 season, it would be his hometown team in Milwaukee. - ESPN.com
Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Lucas Newton told ESPN's Shams Charania on Saturday. Trent has spent the last two seasons in Milwaukee, where he has averaged 9.7 points on 41% shooting (39% from 3), and now earns a massive payday with the franchise. Trent signed for the league minimum in the summer of 2024 and then got a two-year, $7.5 million contract before the start of last season, but he opted out of his player option to become a free agent again. - ESPN.com
National Basketball Players Association executive director David Kelly criticized the NBA's salary cap and luxury tax system on Friday, arguing that the newly implemented "second apron" must be "softened" or removed. "We are not fans of the second apron," Kelly said. "We did not propose the second apron. We should have done a better job of fighting back against the second apron. In the future, we will have a much more unified union, and we will do a better job of fighting back. ... We're seeing [the apron system] decimate teams and force decisions to be made that are not basketball decisions." Kelly, a former Golden State Warriors executive who succeeded former All-Star Andre Iguodala as the head of the players union in February, disputed NBA commissioner Adam Silver's contention that the apron system was designed to foster parity. Instead, Kelly argued the system was instituted in 2023 for "control cost purposes" related to player salary. - ESPN.com
Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson scored 35 points in his Summer League debut on Friday night, the second most in a Las Vegas debut since the event began in 2004. It was Wilson's first competitive game since Feb. 10, after his lone college season at North Carolina ended in February with a broken wrist, and he said he cried before the game because he was so emotional to be back on the court. "It's been five months to the day since the last time I played," Wilson said after Friday's 97-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. "I've just been really emotional because I haven't been able to play. - ESPN.com
