NBA still investigating Bucks, Trent for possible cap circumvention

The NBA's investigation into potential salary cap circumvention by the Milwaukee Bucks and Gary Trent Jr. remains ongoing, according to a report from Joe Vardon of The Athletic. The league hired the law firm Hecker Fink to lead the probe into Trent's four-year, $64 million contract signed during the offseason.

Both the Bucks and Trent's agency, Klutch Sports Group, are reportedly cooperating with investigators. The inquiry focuses on whether Trent signed prior minimum deals with a promise of a larger future payout, though Milwaukee maintains the contract accurately reflects their market valuation of the player.
