Bucks add former Clippers guard on training-camp pact

Coffey went undrafted in 2019 before signing a two-way contract with the Clippers. He stuck around the team for three seasons before being converted to a standard deal in 2022. Coffey spent his entire NBA career up to this point with the Clippers, averaging 6.7 points and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 45.5% from the field and 38.4% from three in 323 career games (67 starts).

He was particularly a key contributor for Los Angeles last year, making 13 starts across 72 games. He averaged a career-high 9.7 points. His role fluctuated slightly across his Clippers tenure, with him playing big minutes in 2021-22 where he made 30 starts and in 2024-25, but playing less so in 2022-23.

Ultimately, the Clippers opted not to bring him back, leaving him as one of the best available free agents on the market. The Bucks are taking a swing on the 28-year-old wing by bringing him to camp. His contract presumably includes Exhibit 9 language and perhaps Exhibit 10 language too, which would put him in line to receive a bonus if he spends at least 60 days with their G League affiliate.

The Bucks have a full 15-man roster, and Coffey is ineligible for a two-way contract. However, Andre Jackson Jr.‘s upcoming salary is only guaranteed for $800,000, so if Coffey was going to battle his way onto the opening night roster, Jackson would appear to be his direct competition for the time being.
