Once this season has officially concluded, Wesley Matthews will have to decide whether he will opt-into his player option for 2020-21, worth around $2.7 million, or test the free agency waters. While the shooting guard has not shared his free agency desires publicly, sticking with the Milwaukee Bucks for another season could be beneficial for both parties.
Statistically, Matthews appeared to have a lackluster year for the Milwaukee Bucks as he averaged 7.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. His 7.5 points per game were his fewest since his rookie campaign in 2009-10, and only the second time in his career that he has not averaged double figures scoring in a season.
