Gary Trent Jr. Enters 2026-27 Back in Milwaukee, Clean Injury Report
newsroom · 54 min agoGary Trent Jr. returns to the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2026-27 season wearing No. 5. He is not on the injury report. Last season he played 65 games for Milwaukee, averaging 8.1 points on 38.7% shooting from the field.
Where He Fits
Gary Trent Jr. is back with the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 5. He is listed at guard, stands 6-5, and weighs 204 pounds. Trent Jr. is 27 years old and enters his eighth NBA season. He played college basketball at Duke. Last season he was on Milwaukee's roster all year, appearing in 65 games. His role was a rotation piece, logging 21.2 minutes a night. He opens this season in the same uniform, same number. There's no new team here, just a new season for a familiar face in Milwaukee. His health profile is clean, and his game is built around perimeter shooting off a bench role.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Trent Jr. played 65 games for Milwaukee and averaged 8.1 points, 1.0 rebound, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.0 blocks in 21.2 minutes a night. He averaged 0.6 turnovers per game, a low number that fits a role player who did not handle the ball much. His usage rate sat at 16.7%, well below a primary scorer's workload. His plus-minus was -5.4, meaning Milwaukee was outscored while he was on the floor last season. Those are the numbers Hoops Nightly fans should keep in mind entering 2026-27: a modest box score from a rotation guard, not a featured scorer.
Shooting Splits
Trent Jr. shot 38.7% from the field last season, 36.0% from three-point range, and 76.9% from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage was 53.3%. Those numbers point to a player who found most of his offense from the perimeter. A 36.0% clip from three is roughly average for a wing shooter, and the 76.9% free-throw number backs up that he is a capable shooter when he gets to the line. The gap between his overall field-goal percentage and his three-point percentage suggests most of his shot diet last season came from beyond the arc rather than in-between looks.
Health Report
Trent Jr. is not on the injury report right now, and there is no injury history logged for him. He played 65 games for Milwaukee last season, a workload that speaks to his availability. With nothing on file heading into 2026-27, Trent Jr. profiles as a healthy piece of Milwaukee's guard rotation as the new season approaches. The Bucks have not had to manage him through a documented injury, and that clean record is worth noting for a wing who logs real minutes in a relief role. Fans checking the injury report on Hoops Nightly's Bucks page won't find his name there right now.
Looking Ahead to 2026-27
The 2026-27 season is here, and Trent Jr. opens it with Milwaukee, the same team he closed out 2025-26 with. His numbers from last year, 8.1 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes, give a baseline for what a healthy bench role looks like for him. At 27 and in his eighth season, he arrives with a known skill set: a perimeter shooter who logs steady minutes without a heavy role in the offense. Nothing in the data points to a change in role, a trade, or an injury complicating his outlook. Milwaukee fans can expect the same version of Trent Jr. that closed out last season, now in a fresh year wearing No. 5.
