Connaughton closed with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to Boston. The 31-year-old led the bench in scoring with five points, though the entirety of the Milwaukee bench was outscored 28-19 by Payton Pritchard alone. Connaughton has received fairly consistent playing time off the bench four games into the regular season, but his 15 minutes against the Celtics marked his lowest total yet. In those four appearances, the veteran guard has shot just 7-for-20 from the field, including 4-for-14 from deep.

Connaughton should see plenty of looks Thursday night as he prepares to handle a bench role in the upcoming 2024-25 campaign.
