MARCH 15: The Bucks officially signed Toupane to his two-way deal on Sunday, per a team press release.
MARCH 13: The Bucks will sign swingman Axel Toupane to a two-way contract, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The 28-year-old played for Santa Cruz during the just-completed G League season, averaging 17.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists in nine games. He was in training camp with the Warriors before being waived in December.
Toupane has previous NBA experience, playing 21 games for the Nuggets during the 2015/16 season, and two games each for the Bucks and Pelicans in 2016/17. He had been playing overseas before joining the G League this year.
Milwaukee has a two-way slot open after waiving Jaylen Adams last week. A report prior to the All-Star break suggested that Myles Powell would fill that slot, but that deal was never made official.
So the Myles Powell deal is dead?
Rumor from someone I know with Bucks connections is that he may not have passed his physical.
That guy is twice as good as Axel Onepane.
Sorry about that, my little nephew told me to tell that joke. I aim to please.
Was wondering if he’d get another shot. Watched a little of him in the G-league b/c of his previous NBA opportunities. Can help them with defense on the wing, which they could use off their bench, especially since Torrey Craig never plays
