Marcus Garrett is on the Milwaukee Bucks roster, moving from free agency with no prior roster spot. The move was detected Saturday, Oct. 17 off the official roster, with no report logged ahead of it.

The move

Marcus Garrett, a 27-year-old guard with two seasons of NBA experience, joins the Milwaukee Bucks roster. He arrives from free agency, having held no roster spot before this move. The addition was detected Saturday, Oct. 17, through the team's official roster. No report preceded the move; none is logged from the injury report or any named source ahead of this transaction.

The money

Garrett's contract terms are not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Bucks carry a payroll of $191.4 million across 19 contracts for 2026-27. That puts Milwaukee over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The club also sits below both the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.

The fit

Garrett has no NBA line from last season. He joins a Bucks roster that now carries 22 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots. Last season's returning rotation included Kevin Porter Jr. at 33.2 minutes and 17.4 points, Ryan Rollins at 32.1 minutes and 17.3 points, AJ Green at 29.1 minutes and 10.4 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo at 28.9 minutes and 27.6 points, Myles Turner at 26.9 minutes and 11.9 points, Ousmane Dieng at 26.8 minutes and 11.0 points, Kyle Kuzma at 26.2 minutes and 13.0 points, and Cormac Ryan at 24.6 minutes and 14.3 points.
