Bucks to Keep Amir Coffey, Retain Andre Jackson Jr., Plan to Waive Tyler Smith

Contract guarantees guided the decision.

Overview

  • Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports Amir Coffey will make Milwaukee’s regular-season roster, with his Exhibit 9 deal converting to a standard non‑guaranteed veteran minimum for opening night.
  • Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, as relayed by Brew Hoop, reports the Bucks are expected to waive Tyler Smith, which positions Andre Jackson Jr. to remain on the 15‑man roster.
  • Andre Jackson Jr. has an $800,000 partial guarantee this season, while Tyler Smith is owed about $1.96–$2.0 million in what would be a one‑year payout if waived.
  • Reporting indicates Doc Rivers favored Jackson, a consideration alongside the differing guarantee amounts.
  • Milwaukee faces the Monday roster cutdown to 15 contracts, and these reported moves would set the group for Wednesday’s opener at Washington after the earlier waiver of Chris Livingston.
