According to Olgun Uluc of ESPN, Travers is now signing a summer league deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Uluc wrote: “Luke Travers will play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2026 NBA Summer League, sources told ESPN. The 6’8 Australian forward was the 56th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft; he spent the last two seasons on a two-way contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.”
Travers could be an intriguing addition to the Bucks organization if he plays well at NBA Summer League.
He is averaging 14.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest while shooting 45.3% from the field in 25 career G League games.

As NBA franchises continue to use their G League affiliates more than ever, a player such as Travers can get extra opportunities to develop.
It will be interesting to see if he ends up with the Wisconsin Herd this season.
Looking At The Bucks

The Bucks are coming off another disappointing season.
They missed the 2026 NBA playoffs with a 32-50 record, which had them as the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference.
In addition, the Bucks will look much different next season, as ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that they traded two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.
Charania wrote (on June 22): “BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.”
