Bucks Waive Chris Livingston

The Milwaukee Bucks have waived second-year small forward Chris Livingston, who has spent the majority of his first two seasons in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd.

Livingston, 21, is a native of Akron, Ohio, and played high school basketball at Buchtel High School and Western Reserve Academy, as well as Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. He entered the draft after one season at Kentucky, selected by the Bucks with the No. 58 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

Appearing in 21 games with Milwaukee in each of the past two seasons, Livingston carries career averages of 1.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 40.8% shooting.

He fared well with the Herd this past season, compiling averages of 18.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals in 18 games.

Livingston is represented by Rich Paul of Klutch Sports. He had had two years left on the deal he signed with the Bucks in 2023 — but his $2.2 million of it was non-guaranteed, provided he was waived before July 16.

For the Bucks, the move will create a little extra space under the salary cap after the signing of former Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner.
