Bucks Waive Chris Livingston Ahead of Roster Deadline

The fully guaranteed deal turns into dead money, creating a roster opening that likely goes to Andre Jackson Jr. or Amir Coffey.

Overview

  • Milwaukee placed the 22-year-old forward on waivers on Oct. 16, according to reports citing ESPN’s Shams Charania and local confirmation.
  • Because his one-year $2,296,274 salary is fully guaranteed, the Bucks will carry that amount as dead cap if he goes unclaimed.
  • The move frees the 15th roster spot before the Oct. 20, 4 p.m. CT cutdown, with Andre Jackson Jr. (partial guarantee) and Amir Coffey (Exhibit 9) in contention.
  • A 2023 No. 58 pick, Livingston logged 42 NBA games with limited minutes but posted 18.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season for the Wisconsin Herd.
  • Milwaukee previously waived him in July to facilitate cap space for Myles Turner, then re-signed him on July 16 to a fully guaranteed one-year deal after Summer League.
