The Milwaukee Bucks have officially waived Thomas, ending his brief tenure with the team shortly after he was signed as a post-trade deadline acquisition, according to Shams Charania.
The decision to part ways with the guard follows significant public backing from the Bucks front office and coaching staff. General Manager Jon Horst had recently touted Thomas as a key piece for the team’s current championship pursuit and a potential fixture in the team's future plans. The signing was initially seen as a move to provide veteran depth and scoring punch for the Milwaukee rotation during the final stretch of the regular season.
Head coach Doc Rivers had also expressed high praise for Thomas early in his stint, notably comparing his impact to that of Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford after observing him in just two contests. However, the Bucks have opted to open a roster spot as the postseason draws near, leaving Thomas to navigate the waiver wire after a short stay in Milwaukee.
