Dragic provided 14 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 137-114 loss to Memphis.
Dragic played 26 minutes in the loss, the most he has played since arriving in Milwaukee. While this performance did come in a game without the starters, it is certainly an encouraging sign for the Bucks heading into the playoffs. He will not have a major role moving forward but will likely feature in one way, shape or form, given he can provide a calming influence off the bench.

Bucks' Goran Dragic: Makes team debut
Rotowire
Dragic (knee) played nine minutes in Monday's 126-117 win over Detroit, scoring zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) but recording three assists.
Though he agreed to a contract with the Bucks in early March, Dragic didn't debut for his new team until Monday after he had been outside of the rotation initially before missing a few games while he managed a sore knee. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Jrue Holiday (personal) sitting Monday, Dragic got the chance to play, though he handled only a minimal role off the bench. Dragic could be part of the rotation Wednesday in Indiana if either or both of Antetokounmpo or Holiday remain out, but the veteran point guard doesn't look like he'll have a clear path to minutes on the occasions that the Bucks are at full strength.

Bucks' Goran Dragic: Inks deal with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Dragic (knee) is signing a contract with the Bucks on Saturday for the remainder of the 2022-23 season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Dragic was waived by the Bulls on Tuesday after appearing in 51 games and averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 15.4 minutes. Prior to being released, Dragic missed four straight games with left knee soreness. When healthy, he can be expected to slide into a backcourt depth role but could push Jevon Carter for the backup point guard spot behind Jrue Holiday. Dragic will likely not earn a large enough role to garner fantasy consideration in standard leagues but could be a name to keep an eye on if Holiday or Carter were to go down with an injury.
