Trent (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Trent landed on the injury report due to a right calf contusion, but the injury ended up being minor, so the sharpshooter will remain in the Bucks' starting backcourt alongside Damian Lillard. Trent posted 11 points and shot 2-for-5 from three-point range in the season-opening win over the 76ers on Wednesday.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Trent is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a right calf contusion.
Trent was a late addition to the injury report, and his status is something to monitor ahead of Friday's tipoff at 8:00 p.m. ET. If the 25-year-old is limited, or unable to play, Delon Wright and Pat Connaughton are both candidates to receive more minutes.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Scores 12 points Thursday
Rotowire
Trent posted 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Thursday's 109-84 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Trent was the only regular starter who suited up for the Bucks in this game. While he led the team in scoring, Milwaukee's overall performance was subpar -- though that can be expected, especially when seeing the lineup the coaching staff decided to start. Trent will open the 2024-25 season as the Bucks' starting shooting guard and provide another much-needed three-point threat alongside Damian Lillard.

Rotowire
Trent finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason win over the Bulls.
Trent was one of four Bucks starters who scored in double digits Monday, and the sharpshooter continues to strengthen his position as a starter for Milwaukee once the regular season starts Oct. 23 against the 76ers. He'll provide some much-needed spacing on offense, something the Bucks have lacked in recent years.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Will be available vs. Lakers
Rotowire
Trent (elbow) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers, coach Doc Rivers told Jackson Gross of SBNation.
Trent is dealing with an elbow injury, and while he missed practice Tuesday, he was expected to be fine, so his presence in the game against the Lakers strengthens that notion. Trent is expected to be the Bucks' starting shooting guard in the preseason opener against the 76ers on Oct. 23.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Not practicing, expected to be fine
Rotowire
Coach Doc Rivers said Trent (elbow) didn't practice Tuesday but is expected to be fine, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Trent hyperextended his left elbow during Sunday's preseason opener against the Pistons but may not miss any time. Trent didn't need an MRI, and Rivers suspects the shooting guard will be back in action Thursday against the Lakers, but the coach wouldn't guarantee it.
Trent has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons due to left elbow hyperextension injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Trent injured his elbow while trying to get around a screen from Jalen Duren, and the former left for the locker room shortly after. Trent registered five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound before leaving Sunday's game. The Bucks' next preseason game will take place Thursday against the Lakers.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Expected to start
Rotowire
Trent is expected to have a spot in Milwaukee's starting lineup to open the season, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
Trent has an inside track to be Milwaukee's starting shooting guard, and his offensive contributions will be critical if Khris Middleton (ankles) is limited to start the season. Trent will likely be asked to fill a similar role as Malik Beasley last year while coming with a better defensive reputation.
Bucks' Gary Trent: Joins Milwaukee on one-year deal
Rotowire
Trent and the Bucks agreed to a one-year deal Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Terms of the deal have yet to be reported, but given Milwaukee's cap situation, Trent likely agreed to this deal for a massive discount as he pursues a championship with the Bucks. Milwaukee's roster was in desperate need of some backcourt depth and perimeter shooting, and it's likely that Trent will play a key role for this team. Still only 25 years old, Trent holds career regular-season averages of 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.
Trent racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-103 loss to the Heat.
Trent was one of the few Toronto veterans who didn't get traded before the deadline. He was a regular starter during the final months of the campaign, and more often than not, he was a consistent source of scoring for a depleted Raptors team. Trent finishes the regular season having scored 20 or more points in only 13 games, and his scoring average was his lowest of his last four seasons in The Association.
