Gary Trent’s payday is under investigation.
On Thursday, ESPN reported that the NBA will probe Trent’s new four-year contract for $64 million, all of which was guaranteed. The deal raised eyebrows throughout the league when it was first reported on July 11.
While the NBA made no formal announcement of the probe, it could investigate the Bucks for cap circumvention, which is the same allegation in the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers/Aspiration probe.
“The NBA is continuing to look into it,” a league spokesman said to Front Office Sports about Trent’s contract.
Trent, 27, is coming off his worst statistical season in which he averaged 8.1 points per game on 38% shooting in 21.2 minutes per game. Trent’s scoring and minutes averages were the lowest since his rookie season.
