JANUARY 3: Kornet has officially signed his 10-day contract with the Bucks, the team announced in a press release. He’ll earn $102,831 over the next 10 days.
JANUARY 2: Luke Kornet will join the Bucks on a 10-day contract under the hardship provision, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The 26-year-old center just completed a 10-day deal with the Cavaliers. He appeared in two games, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per night. It was the first NBA action of the season for Kornet, who played a combined 31 games last year with the Bulls and Celtics.
Milwaukee currently has two players in the league’s health and safety protocols, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Semi Ojeleye. The Bucks will play five times over the next 10 days, starting with Monday’s game against the Pistons.
Yes! Big Kornet fan
Always liked Kornet. He’s a solid backup C. Wish the Knicks would of kept him.
Like father…like son!
Luke’s role on the team should be safe moving forward. His brother, Giannis Kornet, has a lot of pull on the team.
Wouldn’t mind getting a 10 day contract myself. 2 would be fantastic. There has to be room at the end of the bench for a mid-forties, 5’10” unathletic former H.S. jayvee backup PG, right..?
