We have signed Johni Broome and waived John Butler Jr. https://t.co/RORcW7TxVw Via @Bucks on X

What happened: The move reshuffles the end of the roster during 2026-27 camp. Broome was waived Sept. 24 by the Clippers, clearing his $2.1 million deal for 2026-27 after a July acquisition.

Why it matters: Final cuts leave little margin for fringe bigs to earn a stay. The swap gives Milwaukee a different frontcourt option to evaluate before the opener.

What to watch: Watch preseason minutes and the final cut to 15.
