Milwaukee Bucks guard Jevon Carter to decline player option, become free agent
The list of potential Milwaukee Bucks free agents continue to grow, as USA TODAY NETWORK property HoopsHype reported that guard Jevon Carter will decline his $2.24 million player option to test free agency.
Carter, 27, played in 81 games for the Bucks last season and shot 42.1% on three-pointers. He also averaged a career-high 8.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
A second-round pick by Memphis in 2018, Carter was picked up by the Bucks as a midseason free agent in the 2021-22 season for the playoff push. He shot 55.8% on three-pointers in the final 20 games of the regular season, leading to a new contract in Milwaukee.
In his five-year career, spanning four teams, he is a career 39.7% three-point shooter and is widely considered one of the league's tougher perimeter defenders.
Who is Jevon Carter?: Five years into his career, he's still establishing his identity on offense. Will that continue with Bucks?
