After being waived by Milwaukee three weeks ago, former Bucks two-way player Jaylin Galloway will return to the Sydney Kings, his former team in Australia, reports Olgun Uluc of ESPN.
As Uluc previously noted, Galloway was on a three-year deal with Sydney before he left Australia’s National Basketball League to sign a two-way contract with the Bucks in March. That gave the NBL’s Kings the right of first refusal if he wanted to return to the league.
According to Uluc, Galloway and Sydney renegotiated that existing contract, agreeing to a new three-year deal.
A 6’6″ swingman, Galloway didn’t play at the NBA level in 2023/24 after signing with Milwaukee, but saw action in seven games down the stretch for the Wisconsin Herd in the G League, averaging 4.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 20.4 minutes per contest. The 21-year-old Australian averaged 10.3 PPG and 3.4 RPG for Sydney earlier in the ’23/24 campaign.
Galloway is rejoining a Sydney team that features multiple former NBAers, including guard Jaylen Adams and forwards Xavier Cooks and Cameron Oliver. Uluc projects the Kings’ full depth chart in a post on Twitter.
The Bucks, who cut Galloway in order to make room for Anzejs Pasecniks, have filled their three two-way slots, with Pasecniks joining Ryan Rollins and Stanley Umude.
Jalen, Jaylen, Jaylin, jaelin, jalin; everybody’s name! So stupid!
It’s about trying to be different and special. We know only what we want to see. It’s only about me
