Overview
- Herro was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.
- He told attendees at a youth basketball camp on Saturday that he is "not really worried" about his contract as he begins his stint with his hometown team.
- Herro enters Milwaukee with one season left on his current deal, a roughly $33 million expiring salary, and the option to become an unrestricted free agent in summer 2027.
- The Bucks already have deep backcourt depth, including recent draft pick Brayden Burries and returning guards who led the team in scoring last season, creating immediate competition for minutes.
- Health and fit are pivotal because Herro missed significant time in 2025-26, and Milwaukee must soon decide whether to extend him, trade him for balance or use him as a short-term scoring centerpiece that shapes the team’s rebuild.
