Micic was waived by the Bucks on Monday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old was traded to the Bucks in exchange for Pat Connaughton and two second-round picks, though Milwaukee waived Micic and agreed to a contract buyout. He gave back $6.1 million, with the Bucks stretching the remaining $2 million on his contract over the next three seasons. The guard is now expected to explore other opportunities in both Europe and the NBA. He averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game across 41 regular-season appearances (16 starts) between the Hornets and Suns in 2024-25.

Bucks' Vasilije Micic: Traded to Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Hornets traded Micic to the Bucks on Tuesday in exchange for Pat Connaughton, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Hornets also received two second-round picks in this deal. Micic was traded to Charlotte during the 2025 NBA Draft, and now he has been sent to Milwaukee to provide the team with additional depth at point guard. It remains to be seen if he will be in the team's plans, however. The 31-year-old guard averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game across 41 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 (36 with Charlotte, five with Phoenix).
The Hornets acquired Micic, the No. 29 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and a 2029 first-round pick from the Suns on Wednesday in exchange for center Mark Williams, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
Micic returns to Charlotte after spending the first half of the 2024-25 campaign with the club before being sent to Phoenix ahead of the deadline. The 31-year-old guard averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game across 41 appearances (36 with Charlotte, five with Phoenix). He's likely being included in Wednesday's trade strictly for salary-matching purposes, as Phoenix picked up his $8.1 million team option for 2025-26 before dealing him to Charlotte, according to Marks. Micic will add depth to the Charlotte backcourt, but he'll likely have difficulty cracking the rotation when the Hornets are at full strength.

Suns' Vasilije Micic: Makes team debut
Rotowire
Micic played the final 1:35 of Sunday's 116-98 loss to the Timberwolves and recorded no statistics during his time on the court.
Micic saw action for the first time since Feb. 3, after he missed his final game as a member of the Hornets on Feb. 5 due to a left ankle injury before being traded to the Suns a day later. The 31-year-old guard has been healthy for nearly a month, but since he hasn't been a member of the Phoenix rotation, it wasn't until the tail end of a blowout Sunday that he got the chance to make his team debut. Given that Phoenix has ample guard depth and everybody except Cody Martin (sports hernia) healthy at the moment, Micic may be in store for few opportunities over the final six weeks of the season.
Micic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Micic was traded to Phoenix on Feb. 6 but hasn't been available for the Suns due to a sprained left ankle. However, he'll be suited up Wednesday to provide reinforcement to a backcourt without Devin Booker (back), Bradley Beal (toe) and Grayson Allen (knee).

Suns' Vasilije Micic: Iffy to make debut Tuesday
Rotowire
Micic is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.
Acquired from the Hornets on Thursday, Micic may have to wait a little longer to make his Suns debut while he contends with the ankle injury. The 31-year-old should provide valuable depth in the backcourt, though he's uncertain to become a regular member of the rotation. In his 36 appearances (16 starts) with Charlotte this season, Micic shot 34.8 percent from the field and averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes.
Micic (recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Micic and Cody Martin were traded from the Hornets to the Suns on Thursday in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick.
