Traded to Charlotte The Bucks traded Connaughton to the Hornets in exchange for Vasilije Micic on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact The Bucks also attached two of their own second-round picks (2031, 2032) to Connaughton to get this deal over the line. Connaughton recently exercised his $9.42 million player option for 2025-26, so this move by the Bucks will trim their total salary. During the 2024-25 regular season, Connaughton averaged 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 14.7 minutes per game over 41 contests.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly open-minded to possibly leaving Bucks

Minimal role in 2024-25 Connaughton didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He closed the regular season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 three-pointe...

Impact Connaughton's playing time in Milwaukee continued to dwindle in 2024-25, as it was his fourth straight season that his minutes per game declined. The veteran sharpshooter also totaled just 13 minutes across three playoff appearances this year. With Taurean Prince and Gary Trent headed for unrestricted free agency this summer, however, Connaughton could find himself in a more prominent three-and-D role for the Bucks if he picks up his 2025-26 player option.

Returning to bench Connaughton isn't in the starting five for Saturday's Game 1 against the Pacers.

Impact Conaughton started in Milwaukee's regular-season finale but will head back to the bench due to the team's typical starters returning to action. Connaughton has averaged 4.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 11.3 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Deadspin | Pat Connaughton's career day guides Bucks past Pistons Deadspin | Pat Connaughton's career day guides Bucks past Pistons

Career-best effort in OT win Connaughton amassed 43 points (16-29 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 140-133 overtime win over the Pistons.

Impact There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, and with most of the Bucks' usual starters getting rested, Connaughton stepped up with a career-best scoring performance, as well as his first double-double since the 2022-23 season. The 32-year-old forward should return to his bench role when Milwaukee begins its playoff run Saturday in Indiana -- prior to Sunday, he hadn't seen 20-plus minutes in a game since Feb. 5.

Available to play Thursday Connaughton (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Connaughton will return from a two-game absence Thursday due to a sprained right ankle. The veteran forward has averaged 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 16.0 minutes per game in his last five appearances. However, with Bobby Portis back in action following a 25-game suspension, Connaughton could see a dip in playing time.

Iffy for Thursday Connaughton (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Connaughton has missed two straight games for the Bucks while dealing with a sprained right ankle. However, he can return to the floor for Milwaukee on Thursday against New Orleans. Still, he isn't expected to have much of a fantasy impact if he returns, averaging 4.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this season.

Ruled out Tuesday Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Connaughton will miss his second straight outing due to a sprained right ankle. His next chance to play will come Thursday against the Pelicans. Gary Trent could see a bump in minutes due to Connaughton being sidelined against Minnesota.

APRIL 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Connaughton (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Connaughton didn't play Sunday due to a right ankle sprain, but the questionable tag here suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Tuesday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. The former Notre Dame standout is averaging 11.7 minutes per game in eight contests since the All-Star break, so even if he's available, he shouldn't have a lot of upside in most formats.
