Bucks Lock In AJ Green on Four-Year, $45 Million Guaranteed Extension

The commitment reflects Milwaukee's plan to secure top-tier shooting around its core.

Overview

  • The extension runs through the 2029-30 season and removes Green from next summer’s free-agent class.
  • Because the deal was completed after Aug. 5, Green cannot be traded for six months under NBA rules.
  • Green, 26, advanced from an undrafted two-way in 2022 to a rotation fixture, hitting 42.7% from three last season over 73 games.
  • Doc Rivers has indicated an expanded role this year, with expectations that Green starts in a three-guard lineup.
  • ProMondo Sports announced the agreement as agent Matt Bollero told ESPN, and the Bucks also signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract and waived Chris Livingston.
