MILWAUKEE (March 3, 2024) – The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Jaylin Galloway to a Two-Way contract.

A 6-7 forward, Galloway has spent the last four seasons playing with the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League in Australia. This season, the 21-year-old appeared in 23 games (14 starts) with the Kings and averaged 10.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 53.8% from the field. He was named one of three finalists for the NBL’s Most Improved Player Award this season after doubling his scoring average from the previous season.

Overall, Galloway played in 76 games with Sydney over the past four seasons and was a two-time NBL champion. He went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft and was part of the Timberwolves’ Summer League roster this past summer.

DeMar DeRozan called out Bucks player over disrespectful move

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan lost his cool Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

DeRozan was called for a flagrant foul after bumping into Bucks big man Bobby Portis during the Bulls’ 113-97 loss to Milwaukee at United Center in Chicago, Ill.

DeRozan was peeved that Portis glared at him after the Bulls star was knocked down to the ground during their battle for a rebound. The incident happened as the Bulls trailed 80-69 with just over 30 seconds left in the third quarter.

During his postgame press conference, DeRozan spoke about the altercation with Portis. The 6-time All-Star suggested that Portis went overboard with his “theatrics” and didn’t properly respect the game.

“He stared at me. That’s all it takes for me,” said DeRozan. “I don’t care who it is. It could be the janitor in the hallway. Look at me a certain type of way. Like, just play basketball. Get the rebound and play. I’ve just never been a player with the extra theatrics.”

The final score may not have been close, but the physicality between both teams could have had viewers believing otherwise.

DeRozan, who was linked to multiple teams before the NBA trade deadline, finished with just 12 points on 5/13 shooting — his third-lowest scoring output this season. He also had 9 assists and 4 rebounds.

Portis didn’t fare any better with 11 points on 4/13 shooting off the Bucks’ bench. Bucks star Giannis carried his team with 46 points and 16 rebounds.
