Second-year guard/forward Andre Jackson underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a fracture of his left middle finger, the Bucks announced in a press release (Twitter link).
Jackson sustained the injury on Tuesday in a Summer League contest vs. the Clippers. He’s expected to be fully healed ahead of training camp, according to the team.
A 6’6″ swingman, Jackson had a modest role as a rookie last season, appearing in 57 games while averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per contest. Known for his athleticism, defense, and versatility, Jackson was the 36th pick of the 2022 draft out of UConn.
Jackson, 22, signed a four-year deal with the Bucks last July. His $1.89MM salary in 2024/25 is currently partially guaranteed for $946K, while his $2.22MM salary for ’25/26 is non-guaranteed. His contract also features a $2.4MM team option for ’26/27.
Andre Jackson’s 24/25 salary is partially guaranteed for 95K. 25/26 and 26/27 are both non-guaranteed. 26/27 is also a team option. This is all as per Spotrac.
Yes. That’s been fixed.
So we won the lottery getting Eke to play for us in summer league, and we played him 8 minutes in 5 games… Wtf???
If the bucks were serious about him, as they said in an ESPN article, why didn’t we at least start him in a few games?? He liked the bucks culture, and we should have shown him some love by letting him play
