NBA insiders are warning that the Milwaukee Bucks could face devastating punishment following an investigation involving guard Gary Trent Jr., according to reports published Wednesday.
The investigation centers on Trent Jr., who signed with the Bucks during the offseason. While specific details of the probe remain undisclosed, league sources suggest the potential penalties could significantly impact the franchise's operations and roster planning.
Trent Jr., 25, joined Milwaukee on a one-year contract after spending the previous four seasons with the Toronto Raptors. The shooting guard averaged 13.7 points per game last season and was viewed as a key perimeter addition for a Bucks team seeking to return to championship contention.
The NBA has not released an official statement regarding the investigation's scope or timeline. League officials typically conduct such reviews under confidentiality provisions until findings are finalized.
Milwaukee's front office has declined to comment on the matter, referring inquiries to the league office. The Bucks open their regular season next week against the Philadelphia 76ers.
