The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free agent forward Marcus Landry, General Manager John Hammond announced today.

The Milwaukee Bucks now have a full roster with 16 players signed to contracts whether they are guaranteed or non-guaranteed so they don’t have much room for players hoping to make an National Basketball Association roster. Landry is working out with the team on Monday and is expected to ink a deal as a result. After brief stints with the Knicks and Celtics, as well as a stay in the D-League, Landry has spent the last two seasons overseas.

Landry, 29, starred at Milwaukee Vincent High School before playing at Wisconsin from 2005-’09. He also donned Boston Celtics’ colors.

Last season, Landry averaged 10.0 points and 3.4 rebounds for CAI Zaragoza in Spain.

Landry’s best year in the D-League came in 2013 when he was named to the league’s all-star game and won the three-point shootout.
