Gary Trent Jr. is unrestricted free agent after opting out of Bucks contract

Gary Trent Jr. will move on after two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.

According to The Athletic, Trent declined to opt in to his deal with the Bucks, making him a free agent. The Journal Sentinel previously reported that the move was expected.

It makes sense for the sides to part ways. The Bucks are in a rebuild after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo and just drafted shooting guard Brayden Burries in the first round. The 27-year-old Trent can find a home with a team that needs a veteran shooter.

Trent played in 139 games with the Bucks over two seasons, making 30 starts. He averaged 9.7 points per game while shooting 39.1% on 3-pointers. Trent’s minutes fell off dramatically in the last few months of the 2025-26 season.
