On August 15th, according to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks have reached a signing agreement with free agent Amir Coffey. The forward, who has played in the NBA for six seasons, previously played his entire career with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Coffey had a solid season in the 2024-25 season, appearing in 72 games and averaging 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. He shot 47.1% from the field and 40.9% from three-point range , showcasing his excellent outside shooting and efficient offensive efficiency. It's worth noting that he not only spaced the floor on offense but also provided support in transition and scoring through the lane.
Charania wrote on social media: " Free agent forward Amir Coffey has agreed to a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. According to sources, Coffey, who played six seasons with the Clippers, averaged 9.7 points per game in the 2024-25 season while shooting 47.1% from the field and 40.9% from three-point range . "
According to Spotrac reporter Keith Smith , this is a cost-effective addition for the Bucks this offseason: " Amir Coffey is an excellent addition for the Bucks. Considering that this will be a minimum salary contract, it is undoubtedly one of the team's most cost-effective signings this offseason. "
Last season, the Bucks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in just five games in the first round of the playoffs, prompting management to recognize the need for roster adjustments. With the addition of Coffey, the Bucks hope to demonstrate greater resilience and versatility in the new season, laying the foundation for a deeper playoff run.
