JANUARY 7: Galloway’s 10-day contract with the Bucks is now official, the team announced in a press release. It’ll run through January 16, covering Milwaukee’s next five games.
JANUARY 6: The Bucks intend to sign Langston Galloway to a 10-day hardship contract, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link). Galloway recently spent time with the Nets, appearing in four games (14.5 MPG) over the course of a couple of 10-day hardship deals, averaging 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in a limited role.
Galloway played a role off the bench for Phoenix last season, averaging 4.8 points in 40 games while shooting 44.9% from the field and 42.4% from three-point range. However, he was unhappy about playing just 11.0 minutes per night and elected to seek a new team in free agency. He signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with the Warriors in late September, but was waived before the season started.
Galloway, who turned 30 last month, went undrafted out of St. Joseph’s in 2014, but has put together an eight-year career with the Knicks, Pelicans, Kings, Pistons, Suns, and Nets. He has appeared in 449 NBA games with career averages of 8.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
The Bucks currently have three players in the league’s health and safety protocols, making Galloway’s addition possible.
How is he not on a regular standard min contract at the very least. Dude is a near 40% 3pt shooter and not old as dirt.
Makes sense. Our backcourt is currently ravaged with health and safety protocol and Donte is injured, so we need another body to eat up some minutes. Career 37% 3pt on 4 attempts per game, so he should fit in well with the Bucks offensive philosophy. This will be his audition for another team because there’s no way he sticks around after everyone returns.
we cut boogie to sign a bum
