Akron native Chris Livingston is receiving his third guaranteed NBA contract.
The Milwaukee Bucks are re-signing Livingston, a forward who played at Buchtel High School before transferring to Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, to a $2.3 million one-year contract, according to a report from ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.
Livingston spent last season primarily with the NBA G-League Wisconsin Herd. He averaged 18 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game playing in 28.5 minutes per game for the Herd.
Livingston, in 21 games with the Milwaukee Bucks, averaged 1.4 points and 1.7 rebounds.
Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is a minority owner for the Bucks.
