The NBA is investigating the four-year, $64 million deal between Gary Trent Jr. and the Milwaukee Bucks for possible salary cap circumvention, according to a league spokesperson.
The review focuses on whether the agreement complied with league rules governing team payrolls and player contracts. Salary cap circumvention investigations are conducted to determine whether any arrangement violated the NBA’s collective bargaining and cap regulations.
Trent, a veteran guard known for his perimeter shooting and defensive activity, agreed to the deal with Milwaukee as the Bucks continued shaping their roster around a core built to compete in the Eastern Conference.
No further details regarding the scope or timeline of the investigation were provided. The deal remains under league review.
