Trent agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million deal with the Bucks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Trent was slated to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent, but the Bucks moved fast to keep him around. The veteran provides some much-needed floor spacing, and he should see consistent minutes in Milwaukee as an outside scoring threat. Trent averaged 11.1 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.6 minutes per game in 74 regular-season appearances (nine starts) with the Bucks in 2024-25.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 33 points in loss
Rotowire
Trent logged 33 points (12-25 FG, 8-17 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five steals and two assists across 48 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Trent erupted for a game-high 33 points, combining for 24 points in the fourth quarter and overtime alone. He also tied his career-high mark in steals while leading Milwaukee in playing time. However, the 26-year-old guard committed two costly turnovers down the stretch, and the Bucks were eliminated in a close matchup. Trent is slated to become an unrestricted free agent after finishing the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 11.1 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.6 minutes per game in 74 regular-season appearances (nine starts).

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 37 points in win
Rotowire
Trent closed with 37 points (11-16 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and four steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 117-101 win over Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Trent moved into a starting role for this matchup and posted an impressive stat line while also matching Ray Allen's record of nine threes made in a playoff game. This was one of Trent's best scoring performances of his career, and the veteran should continue to be an offensive asset for the Bucks. Milwaukee will aim to even the series Sunday.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Moving to starting role
Rotowire
Trent is in the starting lineup for Game 3 against the Pacers on Friday.
This is a must-win game for the Bucks, and they have decided to shake things up in the backcourt since Trent will start alongside Damian Lillard. This change means Taurean Prince will head back to the bench. Trent posted 14 points in the series opener but was limited to only four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) across 30 minutes off the bench in the Game 2 defeat.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Struggles in Game 2
Rotowire
Trent logged four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Similar to Game 1, Trent played a massive role off the bench, but he couldn't find his shot this time around. Kevin Porter was way more effective with nine points in 15 minutes, so it will be interesting to see if that affects Trent's workload going forward.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Trent (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Locked in as the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference standings, the Bucks will likely rest their top rotational players Sunday while gearing up for a postseason run. If Trent were to be ruled out, he would finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 11.1 points on 43.1 percent shooting (including 41.6 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G), 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.6 minutes per contest across 74 games (nine starts). Trent's absence would open the door for more minutes for Andrew Jackson and Ryan Rollins (shoulder).

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 29 points Sunday
Rotowire
Trent ended Sunday's 111-107 win over the Pelicans with 29 points (10-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes.
With Damian Lillard (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) sidelined, Trent started for the first time since March 26 and for the second time since the All-Star break. He made the most of the opportunity and established a new season-high scoring mark. Trent might struggle with consistency on a game-to-game basis, and his fantasy upside won't be very high if he continues to operate off the bench, but he still delivers value as a second-unit shooter for Milwaukee. He has scored in double digits in 12 of his last 14 appearances, averaging 13.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range in that stretch.

Rotowire
Trent is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is making his way back into the starting lineup, pushing Trent to the bench. The veteran sharpshooter should still play meaningful minutes against New York in Damian Lillard's (calf) absence, with Trent averaging 14.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.7 minutes over 12 games this month.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Poor shooting display in loss
Rotowire
Trent totaled 16 points (5-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 127-117 loss to the Nuggets.
While Trent made four of his 11 threes, this wasn't his best shooting performance overall, and he also didn't provide a lot of value in other categories outside of the scoring column. This was Trent's first start since Nov. 4, though it's uncertain if he'll remain in the starting unit when the Bucks take on the Knicks on Friday. There's a strong chance Trent will return to the second unit if Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is cleared to return for that contest.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) out Wednesday and Damian Lillard (calf) out indefinitely, Trent will step into the starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 4. In seven starts this season, Trent averaged 8.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 29.4 minutes per game. However, he should have a much higher usage while the Bucks are down their pair of stars.
