Overview
- The Bucks announced on Tuesday that they signed Johni Broome to their preseason roster and waived John Butler Jr. to open the spot.
- Broome’s deal is understood to be a non-guaranteed training-camp contract that could include Exhibit 10 language or be converted to a two-way deal if the team chooses.
- Because Broome was traded to and waived by the Clippers this offseason, the Clippers remain on the hook for his fully guaranteed $2.15 million salary for 2026–27.
- Broome was the No. 35 pick in the 2025 draft who played just 11 NBA games but averaged 21.8 points and 8.3 rebounds in 26 G League games for the Delaware Blue Coats before undergoing a partial meniscectomy in February.
- If Milwaukee waives him, Broome could join the Bucks’ G League affiliate and collect an Exhibit 10 bonus of up to about $91,000 for staying with the Wisconsin Herd, and he will likely compete for the team’s open two-way slot this preseason.
