D’Mitrik Trice shines in final Summer League game for Milwaukee
Published:
Former Wisconsin guard D’Mitrik Trice finished NBA Summer League action with a bang, posting a game-high 24 points during the Milwaukee Bucks 94-87 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
A third-team All-B1G performer during both his junior and senior seasons in Madison, Trice was 10-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range. While the Bucks wound up on the losing end, they were +5 while Trice was on the floor.

After he was passed over during the 2021 NBA Draft, Trice earned a spot on the summer league roster by way of a try-out. He played in four of the five summer league games for the Bucks, and averaged 8.0 points-per-game while shooting a combined 59% from the field during the sessions in Las Vegas.
Now, Trice will have to wait and see if his hard work and Summer League performance is enough to land a contract.
Only thing I can do is thank God for placing me in the moment and letting His light shine through me and thank you @Bucks for the opportunity to play on the Summer League team!🙏🏽
