Milwaukee Bucks Sign Guard Ryan Rollins to $12M Three-Year Deal

The Milwaukee Bucks have secured guard Ryan Rollins with a three-year, $12 million contract following a breakout 2024-25 season where he averaged 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 14.6 minutes per game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range. Rollins, originally drafted 44th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2022, overcame limited playing time with Golden State and a brief stint with the Washington Wizards before establishing himself in Milwaukee. The Bucks waived Damian Lillard to clear cap space and have bolstered their backcourt rotation by re-signing Rollins, along with retaining Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., and adding new players like Garry Harris and Vasilije Micic. Rollins' new deal reflects Milwaukee's confidence in his development and potential role amid a competitive guard lineup. Meanwhile, former Bucks second-round pick Jordan Nwora is continuing his professional career in Europe, signing with Crvena Zvezda in Serbia after playing for Anadolu Efes in Turkey. Nwora's move highlights the varied paths NBA players take, while Milwaukee focuses on strengthening its roster around emerging talent like Rollins.
