The decision ensures the veteran will return for an eighth season with the Bucks and his 11th overall in the NBA.</p><p>Connaughton, 32, appeared in 41 games during the 2024–25 campaign, averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. He played 14.7 minutes per contest while serving as a key reserve in the Bucks’ rotation, often providing energy off the bench and spacing on the perimeter.</p><p>Originally drafted by the Brooklyn Nets in 2015 before being traded on draft night to Portland, Connaughton spent three seasons with the Trail Blazers before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-pat-connaughton-agrees-to-deal-with-milwaukee">joining the Bucks in 2018</a>. His arrival in Milwaukee marked the start of a steady run as a rotation piece, highlighted by his contributions to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-giannis-antetokounmpo-trade-clock-officially-started">team’s 2021 NBA championship</a>.</p><h2><b>Pat Connaughton’s return gives Bucks veteran continuity as team enters pivotal offseason</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Giannis-Antetokounmpo-Pat-Connaughton.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Notre Dame product has built a reputation as a dependable two-way player with strong locker room presence. His athleticism, shooting touch, and ability to guard multiple positions have made him a trusted option for several Bucks coaches across multiple playoff runs.</p><p>Connaughton’s decision to opt into the final year of his contract gives Milwaukee a degree of roster certainty heading into an important offseason. After a disappointing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-rumors-aggressive-giannis-antetokounmpo-plan-confirmed">first-round exit to the Indiana Pacers</a> and the lingering injury recovery of Damian Lillard, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-rumors-aggressive-giannis-antetokounmpo-plan-confirmed">Bucks are expected to explore ways to reshape their roster</a> around Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.</p><p>Under head coach Doc Rivers, now entering his second full season with the team, Connaughton’s veteran presence offers valuable continuity. The Bucks continue to emphasize experienced depth to support their championship aspirations.</p><p>Connaughton’s $9.4 million salary is the final year of the three-year deal he signed in 2022. With the option exercised, he remains under contract through the conclusion of the 2025–26 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bucks would certainly benefit from another 3-and-D wing, especially one with playoff experience, alongside their star trio.

Definitely.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton recently held a basketball clinic for kids and it turned out to be quite a successful event. The 29-year-old showed off his best moves to the campers as he taught them a thing or two about the game he loves.</p><p>It seems that Connaughton got a bit carried away, though. He went <a href="https://twitter.com/pconnaughton/status/1552134305467580418">full savage</a> on the kids in attendance by destroying them on both the offensive and defensive end. This was until a little girl decided to apply her full wrath on the NBA champion:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Got crossed by Lena 🙈🤷🏼‍♂️ (got my revenge on the other campers tho 😜) … fun day at camp! <a href="https://twitter.com/pcfoundation24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@pcfoundation24</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/conntentstudios?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@conntentstudios</a> <a href="https://t.co/KgEYEwjVJH">https://t.co/KgEYEwjVJH</a></p><p>— Pat Connaughton (@pconnaughton) <a href="https://twitter.com/pconnaughton/status/1552134305467580418?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 27, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>You can clearly see how outmatched the kids were here. Pat Connaughton was probably going at 50% capacity, but he still wrecked those young kids and their basketball dreams. Kidding aside, though, this was quite an experience for these lucky boys and girls. After all, it’s not everyday that you get to go 1-on-1 against an NBA player.</p><p>At the end of the clip, however, Connaughton was hilariously sent to the floor by a young girl with a slick crossover. It looks like the Bucks wing intentionally fell to the ground, but it was still an epic moment nonetheless.</p><p>Connaughton is now entering the final year of his current contract with the Bucks after deciding to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-milwaukee-pat-connaughton-move-will-please-giannis-antetokounmpo-fans/">pick up</a> his Player Option for 2022-23. This is going to be a very important season for the former Notre Dame standout as he heads into free agency next summer.</p><p>Connaughton is coming off his best year as a pro last season, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/connapa01.html#all_per_game-playoffs_per_game">9.9 points</a>, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, while also connecting on 2.2 triples per game at a 39.5-percent clip.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
