Bucks Waive Chris Livingston After Guaranteeing 2025–26 Deal

The move opens the final roster slot before the Oct. 20 cutdown with Andre Jackson Jr. or Amir Coffey in contention.

Overview

  • Milwaukee waived the 2023 No. 58 pick on Thursday, as first reported by Shams Charania.
  • If he goes unclaimed, the fully guaranteed one-year minimum will leave a $2,296,274 dead-cap hit, per contract reporting.
  • The cut positions the Bucks to keep either Andre Jackson Jr., who has an $800,000 partial guarantee that would become $2.22 million on opening night, or Amir Coffey, who is on a non‑guaranteed Exhibit 9 deal.
  • Livingston earned his latest deal after strong development stints, averaging 18.1 points and 8.2 rebounds in 18 G League games last season and playing well in July Summer League.
  • Over two NBA seasons with Milwaukee, he appeared in 42 games for 196 total minutes, averaging 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 4.7 minutes per game.
