Connaughton didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He closed the regular season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 14.7 minutes per game over 41 contests (one start).
Connaughton's playing time in Milwaukee continued to dwindle in 2024-25, as it was his fourth straight season that his minutes per game declined. The veteran sharpshooter also totaled just 13 minutes across three playoff appearances this year. With Taurean Prince and Gary Trent headed for unrestricted free agency this summer, however, Connaughton could find himself in a more prominent three-and-D role for the Bucks if he picks up his 2025-26 player option.

Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Career-best effort in OT win
Rotowire
Connaughton amassed 43 points (16-29 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 140-133 overtime win over the Pistons.
There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, and with most of the Bucks' usual starters getting rested, Connaughton stepped up with a career-best scoring performance, as well as his first double-double since the 2022-23 season. The 32-year-old forward should return to his bench role when Milwaukee begins its playoff run Saturday in Indiana -- prior to Sunday, he hadn't seen 20-plus minutes in a game since Feb. 5.
