Report: Bucks bringing back F Chris Livingston

The Milwaukee Bucks, after waiving Chris Livingston earlier this month, are re-signing the forward to a guaranteed one-year, $2.3 million contract, ESPN reported on Wednesday afternoon.
Livingston, 21, was released on July 2 before his contract became guaranteed for his third season on Tuesday. Milwaukee selected Livingston in the second round (58th overall) in the 2023 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. He signed the largest contract ever for a second-round pick — $7.7 million over four years, with the first two years fully guaranteed.
He averaged 1.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 5.0 minutes in 21 games (one start) last season. In parts of two seasons with the Bucks, he averaged 1.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 4.7 minutes in 42 regular-season games.
Livingston is playing for the Bucks’ summer league squad in Las Vegas. He averaged 20 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the field in the first three games.
Livingston averaged 15.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 28.2 minutes in 27 games (21 starts) in parts of two seasons for the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ G League affiliate.
