Breaking News: Milwaukee Bucks Send Promising Rookie Down to NBA G League

The appointment of Doc Rivers suggests potential adjustments to the team’s lineup. A significant trade could be imminent, alongside internal modifications among the existing players. A recent development involves rookie Chris Livingston being assigned to the NBA G League due to his limited playing time and struggles during his inaugural season at just 20 years old.

Milwaukee Bucks Send Chris Livingston to Wisconsin Herd

Livingston has faced challenges in securing regular playing time throughout the season, and even with Doc Rivers taking charge, his situation hasn’t seen significant improvement. Despite this, the former standout from Kentucky managed to make a brief appearance on Sunday, playing for just 35 seconds in their disappointing loss to the Utah Jazz. This marked Livingston’s first game under the leadership of Rivers.

Bucks Youngsters Looking to Prove Worth to Doc Rivers

Under Doc Rivers’ new coaching regime, Livingston’s situation isn’t unique. Other young players on the Milwaukee team have also struggled to secure consistent roles in Rivers’ rotation. For instance, Andre Jackson Jr., who had previously earned a significant role with Griffin as coach, has yet to see substantial playing time under Rivers, apart from a brief 37-second appearance against Utah on Sunday. Similarly, second-year wingman MarJon Beauchamp made his debut under Rivers but also had less than a minute of action.

Rivers has expressed his intention to explore potential roles for the team’s young talents, but currently, they remain on the fringes of the rotation, waiting for opportunities to prove themselves.
