REPORT: Galloway departs Bucks, Kings return looms?

Saturday, August 3, 2024

The Sydney Kings could look to swoop on Jaylin Galloway, following his reported departure from the NBA.

Two-time NBL champion Jaylin Galloway could be in line for a return to the Sydney Kings, after reportedly being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Galloway signed a two-way deal with the NBA team in March and played seven games with its G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.

At the same time, he signed a contract extension with the Kings – until the end of NBL27 – allowing the club to retain his NBL rights for the next three seasons.

“He will always have a home here in Sydney,” Kings CEO Chris Pongrass said at the time.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported the news, saying Milwaukee was waiving Galloway in order to sign another player.

The Milwaukee Bucks have waived Jaylin Galloway, league sources told @hoopshype. The move clears the way for Milwaukee to sign Anzejs Pasecniks to a two-way deal as @wojespn reported earlier.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a career-best season in the NBL before his departure to the NBA, averaging 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals a game across 22 appearances.

The Kings have one available roster spot remaining.
