Bucks consider Jonathan Kuminga as potential free agent addition
Summary

The Milwaukee Bucks are exploring roster changes for the 2026-27 NBA season following the trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat. Inquiring into available options, the Bucks are reportedly interested in Jonathan Kuminga, a former first-round pick with the potential for a larger role. Kuminga, recently acquired by the Atlanta Hawks, played only 16 games there last season after struggling with the Golden State Warriors. He averaged 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in 36 games during the last season. The Bucks have the financial flexibility to pursue Kuminga, who could fit well alongside their new roster additions. Another consideration includes using part of their $15 million mid-level exception on him.
