The Bucks are making a change to their starting lineup, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes, who reports (via Twitter) that second-year wing Andre Jackson is expected to replace Gary Trent Jr. at shooting guard.
It’s unclear if the move will be permanent or temporary. Haynes says the lineup change will take place on Thursday vs. Utah, but didn’t elaborate beyond that. Of course, how Jackson performs will likely play a significant factor in the decision-making process.
Trent, 25, signed a one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Bucks over the summer in the hopes of boosting his stock and entering free agency again in 2025. However, he’s had a very slow start to the 2024/25 season, averaging just 8.0 PPG, 1.6 RPG and 1.0 APG and struggling mightily with his shot (.288/.231/.929 slash line) through seven games (29.6 MPG).
At 1-6, the Bucks are currently tied with Philadelphia and Utah for the worst record in the NBA.
