Bucks add center Jake Stephens on an Exhibit 10 deal

Milwaukee signed 6'11" center Jake Stephens, an undrafted 26-year-old who spent last season overseas with KK Split in Croatia. The deal is expected to be non-guaranteed with Exhibit 10 language, worth up to $91K if he logs 60 days in the G League.

He's likely to be waived before opening night and join the Wisconsin Herd, though he could get a look for a two-way spot in camp. The move fills out Milwaukee's offseason roster to 21, including two Exhibit 10 deals alongside John Butler.
