The Bucks have waived Cormac Ryan, the team announced (via Twitter).
Ryan signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Bucks in September after playing for Milwaukee’s Summer League squad in Las Vegas. He appeared in five games and averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.1 minutes per contest. He also played two preseason games for the Bucks, averaging 5.0 PPG in 4.0 MPG.
The Wisconsin Herd, Milwaukee’s G League affiliate, acquired Ryan’s returning player rights in a trade last month. After being waived, he’s now eligible for a $85,300 bonus if he spends at least 60 days with the Herd.
A 6’5″ shooting guard, Ryan went undrafted in 2024. He played five college seasons for three different schools — Stanford, Notre Dame and North Carolina.
Ryan spent 2024/25 with the Thunder’s affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, after signing an Exhibit 10 deal last fall and subsequently being cut. In 37 games with the Blue (27.3 MPG), he averaged 12.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.0 APG and 0.9 SPG on .416/.384/.970 shooting.
The Bucks have also officially released Jamaree Bouyea, whose two-way spot will reportedly be taken by Alex Antetokounmpo, the youngest of the Antetokounmpo brothers. Milwaukee currently has 19 players under contract, two shy of the offseason limit, though that number will go up to 20 as soon as Alex has been signed.
Alex looked pretty good in the FIBA Euro games… perhaps he still has a chance in the NBA. Also, Ryan went undrafted in 2024*
Nevermind, I was watching Kostas… Does Giannis have any other brothers?
I should hope he went undrafted in 2004, he was only 5 years old haha
Yeah, typo. Didn’t see this until now because I was filling in the Nets story. It’s been fixed, thanks.
Undrafted in 2004 and still getting looks 21 years later. Impressive.
