Malik Beasley is unlikely to return to the Milwaukee Bucks as he is expected to receive a new contract in free agency that is beyond what the Bucks can offer, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.

By the Numbers
  • Malik Beasley shot a career-best 41.3 percent from downtown.
  • A.J. Green followed closely with 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Yes, But

The Bucks may have options to replace Beasley with players like A.J. Green, MarJon Beauchamp, Chris Livingston, and Andre Jackson Jr., who offer youth and athleticism but may not match Beasley's 3-point shooting efficiency.

State of Play
  • Beasley's absence could lead to a shift in the roster dynamics and playing time distribution.
  • The Bucks are likely prepared for Beasley's departure and have potential alternatives in their roster.
What's Next

The Bucks will need to make strategic decisions in free agency to replace Beasley's contributions and maintain their competitiveness.

Bottom Line

Malik Beasley's expected departure from the Bucks will necessitate strategic roster adjustments, potentially offering opportunities for younger players to step up and for the team to explore alternative options for perimeter shooting.
