Free agent guard Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Financial terms of the contract were not reported.

Trent, 25, spent last season with the Toronto Raptors, averaging 13.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 71 games (41 starts). He shot 39.3 percent from 3-point range.

In 341 career games (201 starts) with the Portland Trail Blazers (2018-21) and Raptors (2021-24), Trent has averaged 14.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He has connected on 38.6 percent of his attempts from deep in his six NBA seasons.

Trent, a second-round pick by the Sacramento Kings in the 2018 draft, will once again be playing with Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee star who spent the first 11 seasons of his career in Portland.

Lillard is headed into his second season with the Bucks.
