The Bucks have signed Milwaukee native and free agent forward Marcus Landry, the team announced Monday afternoon.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee Bucks have signed Landry to a non-guaranteed contract and he will get an opportunity to win a spot on the club in training camp.
The signing signifies Landry’s return to the states after spending two consecutive seasons in Spain.
Landry was a D-League All-Star in 2010-11 for the Reno Bighorns, averaging 17.1 points per game and leading the league with 106 3-pointers. He began his professional career with the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics in 2009.
Landry played in 49 games for Spanish team CAI Zaragoza during the 2014-15 season, averaging 10 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

As the lockout of 2011-12 ruptured the NBA, Landry then bolted overseas, spending time in Puerto Rico, Spain, and China that season. This year may be no different for Landry as he is likely just a training camp body for the Bucks considering they have Giannis Antetokounmpo, Chris Copeland and Jabari Parker in front of him on the small forward depth chart.
