MARCH 5: The Bucks officially waived Adams on Thursday, according to NBA.com’s transactions log.
MARCH 3: The Bucks are set to waive point guard Jaylen Adams, a source tells Eric Nehm of The Athletic (Twitter link). This news comes in the wake of Milwaukee planning to ink Myles Powell to a two-way contract.
Adams and Mamadi Diakite occupied the club’s two available two-way contract slots on the current roster, so a move like this was inevitable for the Bucks to accommodate the addition of Powell.
A six-footer out of St. Bonaventure, the 24-year-old Adams was recently involved in an argument with an Uber driver, during which local police were called. Details of the conflict remain fairly murky as the situation is ongoing, and it’s unclear whether that incident was a major factor in the Bucks’ decision to cut him.
Last season, while playing for Milwaukee’s G League affiliate the Wisconsin Herd, Adams averaged 20.9 PPG, 5.2 APG, and 4.9 RPG across 34 games. He also posted a shooting line of .487/.401/.788. Adams has logged time across just seven games with the Bucks this year.
That’s tough he needs to go to a team like Phoenix
Had a great convo with him in camp a few months ago. Good kid.
Myles Powell is a heckuva shooter. Not a point guard. Should help their 3 point ability.
Yeah but he had to be signed , he fits perfect nickname is ” Cheese” lol
Someone should unite all the Jaylens/Jalens on a single team. By next year there will be about 12 of them. They can be coached by Jalen Rose.
