Won't play due to rest Jakucionis (rest) isn't playing in Wednesday's Summer League contest against the Hornets, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

Impact Jakucionis is expected to operate as a backup option in the Bucks backcourt after he was acquired in the trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) to Miami. The second-year guard will aim to return to the hardwood when the Bucks play their next Summer League game over the weekend. Jakucionis is averaging 9.0 points and 5.0 assists per game in two Summer League appearances.

Kasparas Jakucionis proved one thing despite ugly Bucks debut It's just one Summer League game, of course, but the Milwaukee Bucks might have found their playmaker of the future.

Scores 11 points in SL loss Friday Jakucionis finished with 11 points (2-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 21 minutes in Friday's 119-86 Summer League loss to Miami.

Impact Jakucionis played sparingly throughout his inaugural season in 2025-26. However, the 20-year-old still had moments of productivity, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 45.8 percent in 12 regular-season starts. Although Jakucionis has already demonstrated he can play a meaningful role when needed, he could continue to have issues getting consistent minutes in Milwaukee. Still, with Tyler Herro (foot) and Kevin Porter (knee) known for durability issues, the door is open for Jakucionis to carve out a path to playing time.

Impact Jakucionis spent his inaugural season with the Heat. While the 2025 No. 20 overall pick wasn't a consistent producer, he showed flashes of promise by averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 steals and 45.8 percent shooting from deep across 24.3 minutes in 12 regular-season starts. Jakucionis is viewed as a young, up-and-coming player, though he may be a few years away from earning a stable role in the Bucks' rotation. With that in mind, he still could exceed expectations throughout training camp and earn meaningful minutes early in the 2026-27 campaign.
