The Bucks and free agent forward Taurean Prince have reached an agreement on a two-year, minimum-salary contract, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter links). The second year of the deal will be a player option.
Prince started 73 of the 80 games he played for the Bucks in 2024/25, averaging 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 27.1 minutes per night.
Prince’s ability to guard multiple positions on defense and knock down three-pointers on offense makes him a valuable rotation player on the wing. He made a career-high 43.9% of his attempts from beyond the arc in 2024/25.
Still, it’s worth noting that the 31-year-old struggled badly in the playoffs, scoring just six points on 2-of-10 shooting in 61 total minutes during the first-round series vs. Indiana. He lost his starting job after the first two games of the series and likely won’t be assured of reclaiming that role heading into training camp this fall.
Prince is the third Bucks free agent who has reached an agreement to re-sign with the team, joining Bobby Portis and Kevin Porter. However, Brook Lopez is leaving Milwaukee for the Clippers, so the club figures to be in the market for additional frontcourt help.
