NBA Rumors: The Injured Star the Bucks Want to Sign

Milwaukee Bucks has made its goal clear: to continue strengthening the squad around Giannis Antetokounmpo. The franchise seeks moves that will enhance its competitive level, but the lack of sufficient assets to negotiate for big superstars forces the team to look at high-impact players who, however, may have some kind of question mark, whether it be playing style, injury history, or contractual situation.

In this context, the name of Dejounte Murray arises once again, currently a player for the New Orleans Pelicans. Milwaukee had previously shown interest in the point guard during his time with the San Antonio Spurs and later with the Atlanta Hawks, and could do so again.

Murray is expected to return in January after recovering from the Achilles tendon injury suffered on January 31 of last season. His performance upon returning will be crucial in sparking the Bucks' definitive interest.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans have depth at the point guard position, with rookie Jeremiah Fears as the starter and José Alvarado as the main backup, which could facilitate a potential move if the franchise deems it appropriate.

His Contract

Murray is earning $30.8 million this season. After this campaign, he is guaranteed $32.8 million, in addition to a $30.7 million player option for the 2027-28 season.
