The NBA is examining the Milwaukee Bucks' four-year, $64 million contract with guard Gary Trent Jr. for possible salary-cap circumvention. A league spokesperson said the review is underway after the Bucks re-signed Trent despite a down season that did not match his free-agent market value.
The deal was signed earlier this offseason.
The Bucks added the guard after he posted lower production than expected in the prior campaign. League rules require contracts to reflect a player's recent performance and market value. Investigators are checking whether the structure bypasses those standards.
The NBA declined to comment on the timeline or possible outcomes of the review. A spokesperson confirmed only that the matter is active. No other teams or players have been named in connection with the inquiry.
