Milwaukee Bucks Face NBA Salary-Cap Investigation Over Gary Trent Jr. Deal

The NBA is investigating the Milwaukee Bucks for potential salary-cap circumvention regarding Gary Trent Jr.'s four-year, $64 million contract signed in July. The league is examining whether handshake agreements promised Trent the lucrative extension after playing for lower salaries in previous seasons.
