The 32-year-old guard spent seven years in Milwaukee as a pivotal bench piece for the Bucks squad that won the NBA Finals in 2021. Connaughton averaged about 6.8 points per game for the Bucks across 440 games, most of which he came off the bench.
The Bucks are reportedly acquiring Vasilije Micic from the Hornets, a 31-year-old guard who has played a couple of seasons in the NBA, also averaging 6.8 points per game.
The move comes after the Bucks reportedly agreed to sign Gary Harris and Myles Turner.
