The Bucks traded Coffey and Cole Anthony to the Suns on Thursday in exchange for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Fresh off a season-high 16 points and back-to-back starts for the shorthanded Bucks, Coffey will get a change of scenery, marking his third team over the past two seasons. Given the backcourt depth in Phoenix, it's difficult to envision Coffey seeing meaningful playing time, but as long as Jalen Green (hip/hamstring) and Devin Booker (ankle) are sidelined, there are minutes to go around. Coffey can be considered questionable to suit up Saturday against the 76ers.

Bucks' Amir Coffey: Emerges with season-high 16 points
Rotowire
Coffey accumulated 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 141-137 overtime win over New Orleans.
The Bucks' depth at the forward spots is being tested by a number of absences, allowing Coffey to get a chance in the first unit. The 28-year-old has started consecutive games, though Coffey is unlikely to hang onto this role once Bobby Portis (hip) is ready to return to action. Despite Coffey's season-high 16 points, fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding him.

Bucks' Amir Coffey: First start of season Tuesday
Rotowire
Coffey is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Coffey has played five minutes or less in four of the Bucks' last five games (including a healthy DNP against the Wizards on Thursday). However, he'll enter the Bucks' starting lineup Tuesday for the first time this season due to the absences of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Bobby Portis (hip). Coffey's last NBA start was as a member of the Clippers on Feb. 23, 2024, when he logged 14 points, three rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes against the Pacers.

Bucks' Amir Coffey: Garbage-time special
Rotowire
Coffey posted 10 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one block and two steals in nine minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Coffey joined a number of his teammates on the floor during garbage time, taking advantage of what was arguably the Bucks' worst loss of the season. The move to Milwaukee has done nothing for Coffey's value. In 23 appearances, he has averaged 1.8 points in 7.7 minutes, leaving him well outside the top 400 in standard formats.

Bucks' Amir Coffey: Limited to 10 minutes
Rotowire
Coffey accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 128-100 loss to Toronto.
Coffey continues to be used sparingly by the Bucks. Through eight appearances, he's reached double-digit minutes five different times. At least while the Bucks are at full strength, Coffey's upside is limited.

Bucks' Amir Coffey: Plays just three minutes in win
Rotowire
Coffey missed his only field goal attempt and did not record a stat over three minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over Toronto.
It appears Coffey's playing time will hinge on game script, since he played 13 minutes against Washington, which entered blowout territory late in the second half. Depending on the severity of Kevin Porter's ankle injury, Coffey will likely only see meaningful playing time if other players in the rotation are unavailable.

Rotowire
Coffey made Milwaukee's Opening Night roster, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Coffey was on a non-guaranteed deal, but he put together a strong training camp to claim his spot on the team. He also has some familiarity with coach Doc Rivers from their time together with the Clippers. Coffey is likely to be an emergency depth option on the wings in Milwaukee .

Bucks' Amir Coffey: Inks one-year deal with Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Bucks signed Coffey to a one-year contract Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After spending the first six years of his NBA career with the Clippers, Coffey will get a fresh start. The 28-year-old played in 72 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging a career-high 9.7 points to go along with 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Career-high 9.7 PPG in 2024-25
Rotowire
Coffey finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals across 24.3 minutes per game in 72 regular-season outings (13 starts).
Coffey didn't receive any playing time in the club's first-round series loss to Denver despite coming off a career-best regular season. The 27-year-old received fairly consistent minutes until late March, subsequently missing seven straight games due to left knee inflammation, before playing only four minutes in the regular-season finale. Coffey is slated to become an unrestricted free agent after a solid season in which he recorded 47.1/40.9/89.1 shooting splits.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Not on report for Sunday
Rotowire
Coffey (knee) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Coffey is not on the injury report for the regular-season finale, so he should handle his regular workload off the bench. The former Minnesota standout hasn't played since March 30, though it's worth noting he shouldn't have a big role coming off the bench. He's averaging 20.9 minutes per game in 19 appearances (two starts) since the All-Star break.

Clippers' Amir Coffey: Held to two points
Rotowire
Coffey provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-110 overtime win over the Kings.
Despite a decent-sized workload, Coffey wasn't able to make an impact on the stat sheet. He's usually a tough sell in fantasy formats when the Clippers are at or close to full strength. For the season, he's well outside the top-200 in nine-category fantasy value with 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 three-pointers.
