What happened: The Bucks announced Kasparas Jakučionis will wear No. 25. The reveal follows a summer in which Milwaukee flew staff to Italy to meet him and started him in summer league minutes alongside Burries, Ament, Nance and Marković.

Why it matters: The number assignment is another marker of Jakučionis settling into Milwaukee's post-Giannis rebuild, which the front office prioritized during trade talks with Miami over the summer.

What to watch: Jakučionis is expected to continue building with Milwaukee's young core through the rest of the offseason ahead of 2026-27.
