Gary Trent Jr. is no longer listed as day-to-day after the Milwaukee Bucks cleared him Friday night. The guard is available for Milwaukee's next game, at the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
What happened
The Milwaukee Bucks cleared Gary Trent Jr. on Friday, Oct. 16 at 10:24 p.m. ET, moving him off the day-to-day tag he had carried since Wednesday, Oct. 14. That Oct. 14 report listed him as day-to-day under rest, not a specific injury. No additional detail or comment came with Friday's clearance. Trent, a 27-year-old guard, now carries no designation on the Bucks' injury report after two days listed as day-to-day.
What it means for the Bucks
Milwaukee opens its schedule at the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. ET, and Trent is available for that game. Last season he averaged 8.1 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes across 65 games off the bench. In games without him, Kevin Porter Jr. (33.2 minutes, 17.4 points) and Ryan Rollins (32.1 minutes, 17.3 points) have logged the heaviest backcourt minutes, with AJ Green (29.1 minutes, 10.4 points) also seeing extended run. The Bucks have not played a regular-season game yet, so there is no record to compare with or without him.
What to watch
Trent enters the opener with no designation, and no return timeline is needed since he is not currently injured. The next injury report will show whether anything new develops before Wednesday's game at Washington. That game marks the start of Milwaukee's 2026-27 regular season.
