Bucks Request Waivers for Pete Nance, Johni Broome and Jake Stephens

Overview

• The Bucks requested waivers on Pete Nance, Johni Broome and Jake Stephens Saturday as the team begins trimming its roster toward the regular-season limit.
• Nance is the most notable cut because he played 47 games last season, shot 42.0% from three, and was on a two-year deal that is not fully guaranteed.
• Broome and Stephens were on training-camp or Exhibit 10 deals and are expected to land with the Wisconsin Herd, Milwaukee’s G League affiliate.
• Players placed on waivers enter a roughly 48-hour claim window during which any team can pick them up; if unclaimed the Bucks can sign Nance to a two-way deal or assign camp signees to the Herd with Exhibit 10 bonuses.
• Milwaukee still carries 16 fully guaranteed standard contracts and must waive or trade one more player before the Oct. 19 roster deadline, leaving the front office under short-term pressure that could prompt another cut or a deal.
