Bucks Sign Tony Mitchell To 10-Day Contract

TUESDAY, 10:58am: The team officially announced the move, via Twitter.

MONDAY, 5:30pm: The Bucks are set to sign forward Tony Mitchell to a 10-day contract, sources tell Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports (on Twitter).  Mitchell has been with the D-League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Mitchell is putting up averages of 19.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in 21 games with Fort Wayne this season.  It’s an encore of his 2012/13 campaign in which he put up 21.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest over 48 games.  Mitchell, 24, was in camp with the Kings over the offseason but was unable to survive the final cut.

The 6’6″ forward is not to be confused with the Pistons’ 6’9″ forward of the same name.  The Bucks’ Mitchell was a standout at Alabama while the Pistons forward made his name at North Texas.
