Cole Anthony is expected to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks after reaching a buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 25-year-old guard averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 2024-25. Anthony was the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and developed into a valuable scorer in Orlando's rotation. The Bucks had a need at point guard after waiving Damian Lillard.
Cole Anthony, a 25-year-old guard, is expected to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks after reaching a buyout agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies. The move comes after Anthony averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in the 2024-25 season, his fifth year with the Orlando Magic. He was traded to the Grizzlies earlier in the offseason in exchange for Desmond Bane [1].The Grizzlies' decision to part ways with Anthony is likely due to the crowded guard rotation, which includes Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Jaylen Wells. Anthony's role with the Grizzlies was expected to be limited, given the depth at the guard position [2].
The Bucks, who recently parted ways with Damian Lillard after his Achilles injury and playoff struggles, are in need of a point guard. Lillard's departure opened up a significant role for Anthony, who will join Ryan Rollings, a soon-to-be third-year guard, to form the Bucks' backcourt [3].
Anthony's addition to the Bucks' roster is a strategic move to bolster their point guard position, which has been a point of contention since Lillard's departure. The 2020 NBA Draft pick has shown potential as a scorer and playmaker, and his experience could be a valuable asset to the Bucks as they look to rebuild their team.
