Milwaukee Bucks News: Dragan Bender reportedly goes unclaimed on waivers

The Milwaukee Bucks made a key addition ahead of their playoff push by bringing aboard Marvin Williams, but it came at the cost of parting ways with a developmental project like Dragan Bender.

Now, a couple of days after hitting the waiver wire from the Bucks, the 22-year-old is reportedly a free agent after all other 29 NBA teams elected not to bring Bender on board on the deal he signed with the Bucks as the New York Times’ Marc Stein reported late Thursday afternooon.

Both Dragan Bender (Milwaukee) and Ryan Broekhoff (Dallas) have cleared waivers to become unrestricted free agents, league sources say

That may be a surprise to some Bucks fans, considering the incredibly team-friendly deal that the Croatian international signed last July to come to Milwaukee.
