Impact Trent led the Bucks' bench in scoring with a season high in points. The 25-year-old has struggled in a new setting thus far, though he has scored in double digits and shot 4-for-8 from the field in each of his last three contests.

Available Tuesday Coach Doc Rivers said that Trent (back) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent will return to game action after missing the Bucks' last two games due to back spasms. The 25-year-old was benched in favor of Andre Jackson before his two-game absence, and Trent will likely continue to come off the bench until he can earn his spot back after a disastrous start to the 2024-25 campaign. Through eight regular-season outings, the guard has averaged 7.3 points across 26.9 minutes per game while shooting 29.5 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from deep.

Will likely play Tuesday Trent (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Trent was benched last week in favor of Andre Jackson and then missed two games due to a back injury. The veteran guard will likely have to earn coach Doc Rivers' trust back through solid play off the bench after a rough start to the campaign. Over eight appearances this season, Trent has shot 29.5 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from deep.

Won't play Sunday Trent (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent will miss a second straight game due to a back injury. Andre Jackson has replaced Trent in the starting lineup, while AJ Green and Ryan Rollins have also recently seen increased roles for the struggling Bucks. Trent's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus Toronto.

Iffy for Sunday Trent (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Celtics.

Impact Trent is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to back spasms. With Andre Jackson (hip) also questionable, AJ Green and Pat Connaughton could receive increased playing time.

Not playing Friday Trent (back) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trent was limited to just eight minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over the Jazz, and while it's unclear if that was due to the back spasms he's dealing with, he's now set to miss his first game of the campaign. Andre Jackson will remain in the starting lineup with Trent sidelined.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Trent is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to lower back spasms, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent is in danger of missing his first game of the season Friday while dealing with back spasms. The 25-year-old guard was moved to the bench in Milwaukee's most recent outing and logged a season-low eight minutes, indicating he could be headed for a majorly reduced role even when available.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Thursday Trent is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Coach Doc Rivers will try out Andre Jackson in the starting lineup with Trent joining the second unit. The 25-year-old has struggled through seven regular-season outings with his new club, during which he has averaged 8.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting only 28.8 percent from the field across 29.6 minutes per game.

Moving to bench Trent isn't expected to start in Thursday's game versus the Jazz, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Trent is expected to be replaced by Andre Jackson in the starting five Thursday. Trent started in each of Milwaukee's first seven outings but has struggled mightily. Over that span, the 25-year-old guard is shooting just 28.8 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from three.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Held to four points Trent logged four points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to Cleveland.

Impact This was a nightmare showing for Trent as the Bucks dropped to 1-6 on the season. To make matters worse, Trent was unable to take advantage of any extra touches vacated by Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh). In seven appearances for his new team, Trent is shooting a mere 28.8 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Available to face Chicago Trent (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Trent landed on the injury report due to a right calf contusion, but the injury ended up being minor, so the sharpshooter will remain in the Bucks' starting backcourt alongside Damian Lillard. Trent posted 11 points and shot 2-for-5 from three-point range in the season-opening win over the 76ers on Wednesday.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Trent is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a right calf strain.

Impact Trent was a late addition to the injury report, and his status is something to monitor ahead of Friday's tipoff at 8:00 p.m. ET. If the 25-year-old is limited, or unable to play, Delon Wright and Pat Connaughton are both candidates to receive more minutes.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points Thursday Trent posted 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Thursday's 109-84 preseason loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Trent was the only regular starter who suited up for the Bucks in this game. While he led the team in scoring, Milwaukee's overall performance was subpar -- though that can be expected, especially when seeing the lineup the coaching staff decided to start. Trent will open the 2024-25 season as the Bucks' starting shooting guard and provide another much-needed three-point threat alongside Damian Lillard.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 points Monday Trent finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason win over the Bulls.

Impact Trent was one of four Bucks starters who scored in double digits Monday, and the sharpshooter continues to strengthen his position as a starter for Milwaukee once the regular season starts Oct. 23 against the 76ers. He'll provide some much-needed spacing on offense as well as a reliable three-point threat, something the Bucks have lacked in recent years.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available vs. Lakers Trent (elbow) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers, head coach Doc Rivers told Jackson Gross of SBNation.

Impact Trent is dealing with an elbow injury, and while he missed practice Tuesday, he was expected to be fine, so his presence in the game against the Lakers strengthens that notion. Trent is expected to be the Bucks' starting shooting guard in the preseason opener against the 76ers on Oct. 23.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing, expected to be fine Coach Doc Rivers said Trent (elbow) didn't practice Tuesday but is expected to be fine, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent hyperextended his left elbow during Sunday's preseason opener against the Pistons but may not miss any time. Trent didn't need an MRI, and Rivers suspects the shooting guard will be back in action Thursday against the Lakers, but the coach wouldn't guarantee it.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with elbow injury Trent has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons due to left elbow hyperextension injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent injured his elbow while trying to get around a screen from Jalen Duren, and the former left for the locker room shortly after. Trent registered five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound before leaving Sunday's game. The Bucks' next preseason game will take place Thursday against the Lakers.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Trent is expected to have a place in Milwaukee's starting lineup to open the season, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Trent has an inside track to be Milwaukee's starting shooting guard, and his offensive contributions will be critical if Khris Middleton (ankles) is limited to start the season. Trent will likely produce in a similar role to Malik Beasley last year, while coming with a better defensive reputation.

Joins Milwaukee on one-year deal Trent and the Bucks agreed to a one-year deal Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Impact Terms of the deal have yet to be reported, but given Milwaukee's cap situation, Trent likely agreed to this deal for a massive discount as he pursues a championship with the Bucks. Milwaukee's roster was in desperate need of some backcourt depth and perimeter shooting, and it's likely that Trent will play a key role for this team. Still only 25 years old, Trent holds career regular-season averages of 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.
