Ipswich star Galloway signs with Bucks

Ipswich Force star Jaylin Galloway has signed a two-year, two-way contract with the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Galloway is a fresh off a season with the Sydney Kings who were eliminated from the NBL24 Finals last week. 

"It's all happened so fast - it's crazy and I still can't really believe I've been given this opportunity," Galloway said.

Inking his signature on an NBA contract for the first time, Galloway will split his time with the Bucks and Milwaukee’s affiliate G League team, Wisconsin Herd.

"I know there was some interest with the Bucks after my agent mentioned it a few months ago, but it's only all come to fruition over the last few days - it really hasn't sunk in yet,” he said.

"I don't know exactly how to put it into words but I'm super excited and can't wait to get to work."

The Ipswich forward made a huge impact in the team’s 2023 championship season. He scored 54 points across the three-game NBL1 North Grand Finals Series, and averaged 18.1 points and 5.4 rebounds over the season.

The 21-year-old young star is keen to start his NBA journey.

“I'm ready to prove myself once again and hopefully achieve my dream of stepping onto an NBA court in the near future," Galloway said.
