NEW BERLIN, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro said Saturday he isn\u2019t dwelling on his contract status and what that means for his future now that he’s joined his hometown team.<\/p>\n
Herro, a Milwaukee-area native who graduated from nearby Whitnall High School in Greenfield, came to the Bucks in the trade that sent two-time MVP and nine-time All-NBA forward Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> to the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old guard has one year remaining on his contract and could become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season if he doesn\u2019t get an extension.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not really worried about it right now,\u201d Herro said while speaking at a youth basketball camp he was hosting. \u201cIt\u2019s a new slate for me, for the coaches, really for the organization as a whole. I don\u2019t think that needs to be a burden over anyone\u2019s shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n Herro\u2019s future has been the subject of speculation ever since news broke in June that he was heading to Milwaukee in the Antetokounmpo trade.<\/a> The Bucks also acquired Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel\u2019el Ware, Kasparas Jaku\u010dionis and draft capital that included the rights to 2026 No. 13 pick Nate Ament.<\/a><\/p>\n Milwaukee\u2019s roster already is heavily tilted to the backcourt.<\/p>\n The Bucks selected another shooting guard in this summer\u2019s draft when they took Arizona\u2019s Brayden Burries<\/a> with the No. 10 pick. Their top two returning scorers from last season are guards Kevin Porter Jr. (17.4 ppg in 38 games) and Ryan Rollins (17.3 ppg in 74 games).<\/p>\n Herro, who had spent his first seven NBA seasons in Miami, is eager to bounce back from a 2025-26 season in which injuries limited him to just 33 games. Herro has averaged over 20 points each of the last five seasons, and he earned an All-Star selection in 2025.<\/p>\n
