The Milwaukee Bucks were defeated by the Indiana Pacers 128-119 on Thursday night in Las Vegas, eliminating them from the In-Season Tournament.
The Bucks will host the Chicago Bulls in Wisconsin on Monday night for their next game.
The Bucks assigned Chris Livingston to the Wisconsin Herd (G League) on Saturday in an effort to make room on the roster.
Livingston, a Kentucky native, was selected 58th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft.
During his one-season stint with the Wildcats, he averaged 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and shot 30.5% from three-point range and 42.9% from the field in 34 games (26 starts).
Livingston is averaging 1.7 points per game in his three games with the Bucks this season.
This season, the 20-year-old will probably spend a lot of time with the Herd in order to increase his playing time.
The Bucks are now ranked third in the Eastern Conference after going 15-7 in their first 22 games.
They have an amazing 10-2 record in the 12 games they have hosted on their home court in Wisconsin, and they are 7-3 over their last ten games overall.
The team defeated the Phoenix Suns to win the 2021 NBA Championship, and it has advanced to the postseason in each of the previous seven seasons.
The Bucks were the top seed in the Eastern Conference the previous season, but they were defeated by the Miami Heat in the opening round.
