Andre Jackson Jr. Rumors
Although Andre Jackson is under contract for the 2025-26 season and will make $2.2 million, his contract is only guaranteed for $800,000 and becomes fully guaranteed on opening night. Could this result in Jackson being the player who ends up being cut after the recent Antetokounmpo signing? While the team has believed in his potential, the 23-year-old was on the trade block before last season's trade deadline, league sources told ClutchPoints. The Bucks were seeking two second-round picks in a trade for Jackson, but they never received an offer including more than one second-round pick.
Keith Smith: As part of agreeing to move his contract guarantee back with the Milwaukee Bucks, Andre Jackson Jr. got his deal partially guaranteed for $800K, a league source told @spotrac . Jackson's contract will become fully guaranteed on opening night of the 2025-26 season.
Per a league source, Andre Jackson Jr. and the Bucks have agreed to push back the guarantee date on Jackson's contract for the 2025-26 season. That date was previously the end of the day today.
Jim Owczarski: Damian Lillard is down. His left ankle/foot went out from under him as he went for a loose ball. He needed to be helped off the court by Doc Rivers and head trainer Scott Faust. Andre Jackson Jr. then helped him to locker room.
Eric Nehm: Here is the Bucks' injury report vs. the Clippers on Thursday: Questionable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Left Calf Strain) Andre Jackson Jr. (Right Wrist Sprain) Damian Lillard (Right Hamstring Strain) Out: Chris Livingston, Liam Robbins, Stanley Umude (G League)

A contest that has historically seen its fair share of All-Star power is now largely reduced to young rank-and-file players (at best). For example, the 2025 dunk contest this year features up-and-coming Spurs guard Stephon Castle along with defending champion Mac McClung (on a two-way contract with Orlando) and seldom-used rookies Matas Buzelis and Andre Jackson. Their average scoring output this season is 7.53 ppg, the fourth-worst mark for any dunk contest field in NBA history.
