Milwaukee Bucks Sign Luca Vildoza

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Luca Vildoza.

A 26-year-old from Argentina, Vildoza last played with Baskonia in the Spanish ACB League where he appeared in 228 games across four seasons with the club between 2017-21. In his most recent season with Baskonia in 2020-21, the 6-3 guard played in 62 games (32 starts) across EuroLeague and Spanish ACB play and averaged 10.6 points, 3.5 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 24.5 minutes per game.

Vildoza, who was named the Spanish ACB League Finals MVP in 2020 after leading Baskonia to the league title, also has five seasons of professional experience playing with Quilmes in the Argentinian Liga A between 2011-17. The Buenos Aires-native also played in two NBA Las Vegas Summer League games with the Knicks this past summer and spent part of this season’s training camp with New York before being waived on Oct. 3.

Vildoza will wear number 6 with the Bucks. Milwaukee’s roster now stands at 17 players.
