In a surprising late-night turn of events, the Bucks have re-signed Ryan Rollins, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Less than a week ago, we said what we thought were our final goodbyes to Rollins after Milwaukee rescinded his qualifying offer, but now, he’s back. The young guard’s new deal is worth $12m over three years with a player option for the final season. The team had Rollins’ Early Bird rights, which they needed in order to afford that figure.
Rollins has been an enormous success story in player development for Milwaukee. They first acquired the former second-round pick on a two-way contract in February 2024, and he played just three games for the team that spring.
