Milwaukee Bucks Decline MarJon Beauchamp's Option

The Milwaukee Bucks have officially declined the fourth-year rookie option on MarJon Beauchamp's contract, which was valued at $4.8 million for the 2025-26 season. Beauchamp, the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, will now become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Despite showing potential as a shooter, his performance has been inconsistent, averaging just 4.7 points and 2.1 rebounds over 104 games. The Bucks have reportedly explored trade options for Beauchamp, as his fit within the team's core alongside stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard has been questioned. With only limited playing time at the start of the current season, his future with the team remains uncertain. The decision not only frees up salary cap space but also signals a new direction for both Beauchamp and the Bucks.
