Stein: Connaughton may execute player options ahead of schedule and enter the final year of contract next season

Basketball

According to a report released by famous reporter Marc Stein, Bucks wing Connaughton is expected to implement its $9.4 million player option with the team soon. It is reported that Connaughton's player options deadline is June 24 (local time), but he can make a choice ahead of that date.

Connaughton played only 41 games for the Bucks last season, the lowest number of appearances since joining the team in 2018. The veteran with 10 years of NBA experience handed over the worst stats since becoming a regular rotation player in his second season: averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 46.9% from the field but shooting only 32.1% from three-pointers, the lowest since the rookie season.

Connaughton's future remains to be seen, especially considering his role last season. However, he performed well in the last game of the Bucks' regular season, scoring 43 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Next season will be the last year of the three-year, $28.3 million contract renewal signed with the Bucks in 2022.
