MILWAUKEE (July 7, 2023) – The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Andre Jackson Jr.

The 36th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Jackson Jr. helped UConn win the NCAA Championship as a junior last season. The 6-6, 200-pound guard averaged 6.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.2 minutes per game with the Huskies in 2022-23, playing in 32 games (28 starts). A co-captain last season, Jackson Jr. was selected to the 2022-23 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award Top 15 watch list.

A native of Amsterdam, New York, Jackson Jr. appeared in 81 games across three seasons with the Huskies, helping them reach the NCAA Tournament three times while posting a 69-26 (.726) overall record. His draft rights were acquired by the Bucks from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a 2030 second-round draft pick and cash considerations.
