Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Dishes out six assists Friday
Jakucionis finished Friday's 128-127 preseason win over the Pacers in overtime with three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 14 minutes off the bench.
Jakucionis shifted back to a bench role Friday with Milwaukee's projected starting unit back in action. The 20-year-old point guard struggled with efficiency but led Milwaukee in assists. The Bucks have a crowded backcourt, meaning Jakucionis will face plenty of competition for minutes to begin the regular season.

Jakucionis drew the start and made a living at the charity stripe, converting all 11 of his free-throw attempts. The 20-year-old also led Milwaukee with six assists.

Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Doesn't play Saturday
Jakucionis (rest) didn't play in Saturday's 96-94 Summer League win over Philadelphia.

Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Won't play due to rest
Jakucionis (rest) isn't playing in Wednesday's Summer League contest against the Hornets, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
Jakucionis is expected to operate as a backup option in the Bucks backcourt after he was acquired in the trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) to Miami. The second-year guard will aim to return to the hardwood when the Bucks play their next Summer League game over the weekend. Jakucionis is averaging 9.0 points and 5.0 assists per game in two Summer League appearances.

Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Scores 11 points in SL loss Friday
Jakucionis finished with 11 points (2-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 21 minutes in Friday's 119-86 Summer League loss to Miami.
Jakucionis played sparingly throughout his inaugural 2025-26 NBA season with the Heat. However, the 20-year-old still had sporadic production, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 45.8 percent in 12 regular-season starts. Although Jakucionis has already demonstrated he can play a meaningful role when needed, he could continue to struggle for consistent playing time in Milwaukee. Still, with Tyler Herro (foot) and Kevin Porter (knee) known for durability issues, the door is open for Jakucionis to carve out a path to playing time.

Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Traded to Bucks
Jakucionis was traded to Milwaukee on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Also included, the Bucks will receive Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Tyler Herro and picks, while the Heat will acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis.
Jakucionis spent his inaugural season with the Heat. While the 2025 No. 20 overall pick wasn't a consistent producer, he showed flashes of promise by averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 steals and 45.8 percent shooting from deep across 24.3 minutes in 12 regular-season starts. Jakucionis is viewed as a young, up-and-coming player, though he may be a few years away from earning a stable role in the Bucks' rotation. With that in mind, he still could exceed expectations throughout training camp and earn meaningful minutes early in the 2026-27 campaign.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Won't start versus Atlanta
Jakucionis won't start in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jakucionis got the start in Friday's 140-117 win over the Wizards. However, with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) returning from his one-game absence, Jakucionis will move back to a reserve role.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Takes advantage of spot start
Jakucionis notched 16 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 140-117 win over Washington.
The Heat rested several players Friday, meaning Jakucionis got another start in the backcourt. The rookie took full advantage of the opportunity -- he posted his best scoring mark since March 12, when he recorded 18 points in a start against the Bucks. The Heat have already locked up a Play-In Tournament berth, so it wouldn't be surprising if they rest their regulars Sunday against the Hawks, which could pave the way for Jakucionis to make another start in the final day of the regular season. Jakucionis has posted solid numbers when given the chance, as he's scored in double digits in five of his 12 starts as a rookie this season. While he's a work in progress, he's shown glimpses of his talent.
