VanVleet praises the team's chemistry and aims to deepen his partnership with Sheppard, whose 2027/28 contract option—worth $14.04 M—looks set to be exercised after a promising breakout season.

The Bucks waived Kevin Porter Jr. just before the roster deadline, rejecting a Nuggets offer of two future second‑round picks, a pick swap, and Zeke Nnaji’s $7.5 million 2027‑28 salary.

Houston’s Tyler Herro shines, posting 23 points on 9‑13 shooting for a B grade, and the Rockets’ defense swallows Milwaukee’s offense. Other Bucks receive mixed grades: Kuzma (D+), Turner (C‑), Ware (D), Jakucionis (C‑), Burries (C+), and AJ Green (C).
