Milwaukee closed training camp and staged media day on Sept. 28, with Taylor Jenkins laying out his plan for a roster the Journal Sentinel confirmed matches the twenty-one names already on the books. Elsewhere, Behind the Buck Pass kept pushing a Jalen Duren connection and knocked down a Tyler Herro-to-Detroit rumor that has no backing beyond the headline.
Sept. 24-27
Behind the Buck Pass ran several pieces this week tying Jalen Duren to Milwaukee, building on a Sept. 24 roundup that had already grouped the Bucks with Duren, the Bulls, Jenkins and the Cavaliers. Swoosh Shrestha argued that adding Duren still would not solve Milwaukee's point guard problem, a real gap while Porter Jr. sits day-to-day with a right knee issue and a return targeted for Oct. 1. No deal has surfaced in Milwaukee's own reporting.
Sept. 27
Dalton Sell dismissed a separate idea that Milwaukee should send Tyler Herro to Detroit, writing the Bucks have bigger concerns. Herro remains the roster's highest-paid player at $33.0 million, the centerpiece of June's trade with Miami, and nothing in Milwaukee's $193.8 million payroll or its list of moves this month suggests he is going anywhere.

Media day arrived Sept. 28. Jim Owczarski reported Milwaukee's training camp roster carries no surprises: two-way deals for Cormac Ryan and Kam Jones, camp deals for Jake Stephens and John Butler Jr., matching the twenty-one players already on the books. Bucks.com made the roster official, and Owczarski detailed the plan and core principles Taylor Jenkins brings into his first season running Milwaukee's bench.

Brew Hoop's roster ranking series placed Ousmane Dieng at No. 8, timed to a real trend: Dieng has played 32.2 minutes a night over his last ten games, 12.9 more than his season average, exactly the jump that ranking is meant to explain, and the kind of role change training camp will test.
Is Tyler Herro being traded to the Pistons?
No trade has been reported. Behind the Buck Pass called the idea a low priority, and Herro remains Milwaukee's highest-paid player after this summer's trade with Miami.
Could the Bucks still trade for Jalen Duren?
Outlets have repeatedly linked Duren to Milwaukee since a Sept. 24 roundup, but no deal has been reported, and Porter Jr.'s knee injury is the concrete point guard concern on record.
