What happened: Butler played for Milwaukee during Summer League. He spent the 2025-26 season with the Wisconsin Herd.
Why it matters: The deal gives Milwaukee another frontcourt option to evaluate before setting its opening-night roster. Butler enters camp competing for an NBA role.
By the numbers: Butler averaged 9.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 35 G League games in 2025-26 while shooting 40% from three.
What to watch: Milwaukee must decide whether Butler fits its regular-season roster before opening night.
