US EditionGrizzlies Announce that Jaren Jackson Jr.’s Renegotiation and Extension Is Complete
SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, JUL 13 – The buyout clears cap space for Memphis to extend Jaren Jackson Jr. while Milwaukee adds a younger guard to support Giannis Antetokounmpo after waiving Damian Lillard.
- On Saturday, Cole Anthony agreed to a contract buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies, and ESPN’s Shams Charania reported he expects to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks.
- To clear cap space for Jaren Jackson Jr.’s extension, the Grizzlies arranged the buyout, while a guard vacancy from Damian Lillard’s departure created the opportunity for Anthony.
- Known for his bench production, Cole Anthony averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.9 rebounds last season, and entered with $13.1 million left on his contract plus a club option, per Spotrac.
- The Bucks will lean on Anthony to bolster backcourt depth behind Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins, betting on his spark off the bench and offering him a fresh start after five seasons in Orlando.
- This move positions the Bucks with a low-risk, high-upside offensive weapon for championship aspirations, and for Memphis, it clears additional cap space and opens minutes for developmental pieces.
