Bucks convert Nance deal
The Milwaukee Bucks converted Pete Nance’s two‑way contract into a standard NBA deal and immediately waived high‑scoring guard Cam Thomas, freeing a two‑way spot for the rest of the season (brewhoop.com).
The contract is a multi‑year, fully guaranteed standard NBA deal that the Bucks announced on March 23, 2026 and that makes Nance available for the remainder of 2025‑26 and the 2026‑27 season. (usatoday.com ) Nance has appeared in a career‑high 37 games this season and logged 12.1 minutes per game overall while averaging 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds. (apnews.com via wnep.com ) Since the start of February Nance’s role increased to about 15.3 minutes per night, during which he averaged 5.2 points on 56% shooting and 48% from three-point range. (espn.com ) Under NBA roster rules Nance had exhausted his allowable two‑way games, which required an open 15‑man spot to convert him to a standard contract; the club cleared that roster slot via a waiver request. (particle.news ) Cam Thomas signed with Milwaukee on Feb. 8, produced 34 and 27‑point outings in his first week, finished with roughly 10.7 points in 16.6 minutes across 18 appearances, and was waived after March 1 — a timing that makes him ineligible for the 2026 postseason if he signs elsewhere. (espn.com ) Coach Doc Rivers praised Thomas’s early scoring bursts but said his role had diminished in recent weeks, and the team framed the move as a roster‑mechanics decision while promoting Nance to a multiyear deal.
