July 7: Green’s standard deal is official, per NBA.com’s official transactions log.
July 6: A.J. Green will remain with the Bucks on a multi-year contract, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic. Only the first year of the deal is fully guaranteed, Charania adds. It’s a three-year deal, tweets Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
The 23-year-old shooting guard will receive his first standard NBA contract after playing on a two-way deal last season. He signed with Milwaukee last July after going undrafted out of Northern Iowa.
Green appeared in 35 games for the Bucks during his first NBA season, averaging 4.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per night. He underwent surgery for a nasal fracture in October that kept him out of action for close to a month.
Green is the fourth Bucks free agent to agree to re-signed with the team, joining Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Jae Crowder. The team has also reached deals with Malik Beasley and Robin Lopez.
For a second, when I saw this alert, I thought it should’ve been Bucs for Buccaneers, though I don’t believe that A.J. Green has ever played for Tampa. I didn’t realize there was an NBA player by that name.
That A.J. Green announced his retirement earlier this year, so the only place he might sign, if he hasn’t done so already, is Cincinnati for a one-day contract to retire as a Bengal.
I thought it was the virgin player AC Green from the 80s making a miraculous comeback.
It’s A.J. Green Jr. II
MJ commercial “oh” disappointment.
