Free agent shooting guard Terence Davis recently held a workout with the Bucks, league sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Davis, 27, began last season with the Rip City Remix, Portland’s affiliate in the G League. He appeared in just three games before suffering a torn Achilles that ended his season.
Davis, who chose the G League over a more lucrative offer in Europe, is hoping to prove that he’s healthy enough to return to the NBA after a one-year hiatus. He last played for Sacramento during the 2022/23 season, averaging 6.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 64 games, primarily in a reserve role.
Davis’ NBA career began in 2019 when he signed with Toronto after going undrafted out of Mississippi. After a year and a half with the Raptors, he was traded to the Kings at the 2021 deadline. He’s been an explosive scorer off the bench for most of his time in the NBA, posting .434/.366/.826 shooting numbers in 227 games.
Even if Davis gets an offer to join Milwaukee for training camp, it won’t be easy for him to win a roster spot. The Bucks already have 14 players with fully guaranteed contracts, along with Andre Jackson, who holds a $946K guarantee on his $1.89MM deal for the upcoming season.
He deserves another chance
Given Davis’ injury timeline (January 2024), it’s likely that he’s being looked at for a post-deadline roster spot.
Super fast track that expansion …. give franchises to Seattle and Vegas, move NOLA to the East.
Terence over Andre
