Taurean Prince has opted in to his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2026-27 season, according to a report from The Athletic dated June 29. The $3.81 million option decision came on the same day, following a season in which Prince played just 26 games due to a herniated disc in his neck that required surgery. He finished the season strong after missing more than four months. In his two seasons with the Bucks, he has made 43.8% of his three-point attempts and averaged 9.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game last season. His experience may prove valuable to the Bucks' young backcourt.
