Johni Broome is on the Milwaukee Bucks' roster as of Tuesday, Oct. 6, according to the team's official roster. The 24-year-old forward enters his second NBA season after totaling 11 games as a rookie last season.
The move
Broome, a 24-year-old forward with one season of experience, moves from free agency with no roster to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks' official roster confirmed the move on Tuesday, Oct. 6. The transaction follows a Sept. 24 report from hoopsrumors, "Keon Johnson Among Several Players Waived Thursday," with confidence on that report not announced. The Bucks now carry 22 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
The money
Broome's contract on file covers 2026-27 at $2.2 million, with no additional years listed. The Bucks carry $193.8 million in payroll across 20 contracts for 2026-27, putting them over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, with Milwaukee below both.
The fit
Broome played 11 games last season, averaging 5.0 minutes, 0.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists. He joins a Bucks rotation led last season by Kevin Porter Jr. (33.2 minutes, 17.4 points), Ryan Rollins (32.1 minutes, 17.3 points), AJ Green (29.1 minutes, 10.4 points), Giannis Antetokounmpo (28.9 minutes, 27.6 points), Myles Turner (26.9 minutes, 11.9 points), Ousmane Dieng (26.8 minutes, 11.0 points), Kyle Kuzma (26.2 minutes, 13.0 points) and Cormac Ryan (24.6 minutes, 14.3 points).
