Overview

  • Orlando traded Anthony to Memphis in mid-June as part of the package for Desmond Bane.
  • Anthony gave up about $2 million of his $13.1 million expiring salary in a buyout before signing a one-year veteran-minimum deal with the Bucks in July.
  • His back-to-school event with the 50 Ways Foundation in Orlando served as a farewell he described as “bittersweet,” highlighting his enduring ties to the city.
  • He will compete with veterans like Gary Harris for playing time alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo as Milwaukee looks to break its streak of first-round playoff exits.
  • The full NBA schedule, expected to be released soon, will match Anthony’s new team against the Magic at least three times this season.
