Overview

• Multiple outlets report Milwaukee will waive 2024 No. 33 pick Tyler Smith by the Oct. 20 cutdown to reach the 15‑player limit.
• Amir Coffey’s Exhibit 9 deal is being converted to a standard veteran‑minimum contract for opening night, remaining non‑guaranteed until Jan. 10.
• Andre Jackson Jr. stays on a deal with $800,000 guaranteed after moving his guarantee date to Oct. 20 earlier this summer.
• Smith is owed about $1.95 million for 2025–26, with the next two seasons on his rookie contract non‑guaranteed.
• Saturday was the last day to waive partially or fully guaranteed contracts without larger cap hits, and these reported moves set the 15‑man roster pending official filings before the Washington opener.
