Bucks Don’t Extend Qualifying Offer To TyTy Washington

The Milwaukee Bucks have decided not to extend a qualifying offer to point guard TyTy Washington, per reports and Hoops Wire sources. He will now become an unrestricted free agent.

Washington, 22, is 6-foot-3 and appeared in 11 games with the Bucks this past season, averaging 1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists. He was originally selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. He was immediately traded to the Houston Rockets.

Washington appeared in 31 games with the Rockets, averaging 4.7 points. But he never got the same kind of run in Milwaukee after signing a two-way contract last August.

Most of his time has been spent in the G League, where he’s averaged 22.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 44.9% from the field and 37.2% on 3-pointers in 32 games.

So it’s clear that he’s a G League All-Star. 

His career averages are 22.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 44.9% from the field and 37.2% from the three-point range in 32 regular season games (31 starts).

But with the likes of Damian Lillard, Delon Wright, and even A.J. Green ahead of him with the Bucks, Washington became the odd man out. That said, he’s still just 22 with an upside, so he is likely to be in someone’s training camp somewhere.

For now, he has been traded four times and waived twice. Let’s just hope he got some gear from every team that he either played for or was traded to.
