Gary Trent Jr. Exercises Player Option
2 years agoToronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. is opting into his $18.5 million player option for the 2023-24 season. According to Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report, this was announced by Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and Trent's agent Lucas Newton. The 24-year-old 3-and-D wing took a bit of a step back this past season, mainly due to injury issues that prevented him from playing in 16 games. While he saw a decrease in minutes, he also saw a decline in his three-point percentage, points, rebounds, assists, and steals.

Gary Trent Jr. Considered Probable For Thursday
2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is regarded as probable for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. He is on the injury report with left patella tendinopathy. However, it is only a minor ailment, and Trent Jr. is expected to play on Thursday. When he gets the official clearance, Trent Jr. will attempt to stretch a scoring streak of 10-plus points to five games. It would be his second-longest such streak of the season. If he suffers a significant setback that takes him out of the lineup, the Bucks will look to receive greater contributions from AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr.
