They revealed details of the contract that Luca Vildoza signed at Milwaukee Bucks to return to the NBA

While Facundo Campazzo sees almost no action at the Denver Nuggets due to a coach's decision, in the last few hours good news was confirmed for Argentine and Latin American basketball. Luca Vildoza, who had not been able to play in his brief stint with the New York Knicks because he suffered an injury to one of his feet that forced him to be cut by the team, joined the Milwaukee Bucks for the remainder of the NBA season.

With only two games left until the close of the regular phase - tonight against the Detroit Pistons and Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers - the Bucks have already secured their place in the playoffs. With a record of 50 wins and 30 losses, they hope to secure second place in the Eastern Conference, just behind the Miami Heat. Vildoza traveled with the team ahead of the final matches that will be as a visitor, and it is expected that he will be able to make his debut in the run-up to the big goal.

Faced with this scenario, details of the contract signed by former Baskonia point guard of the Spanish league with Milwaukee were known. According to journalist Keith Smith, Vildoza has a link to the franchise that has Giannis Antetokounmpo until the end of the season and will earn exactly $42,789. In addition, there is a clause in its agreement in which it cannot be transferred until July 5, 2022.

For its part, for the 2022/23 campaign, his income will be $1,752,638, although the contract is not guaranteed. The Argentine will receive 500 thousand dollars if he is confirmed on the squad ahead of next season's debut and will become fully guaranteed until 1/7/2023.

“The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Luca Vildoza,” said the presentation made by the franchise that comes from being champion in the last campaign on social media. At the same time, they confirmed the number that will be used by the guard who won the world championship runner-up with the Argentine team at the 2019 World Cup in China. “Vildoza will wear number 6 with the Bucks. The Milwaukee roster is now 17 players,” they announced.

It should be remembered that at the beginning of this season, Vildoza participated in the NBA Summer League alongside the New York Knicks, the team that had offered him a contract to have its premiere in the best basketball league on the planet. After a great performance at Saski Baskonia, where he was voted best player in the ACB League finals in Spain in 2020 and with an active participation in Sergio Hernandez's national team during the last World Cup in Asia, his landing in the United States was cut short by an injury to his right foot after the second meeting of the summer league.

He only added 12 minutes and did not score points in the two games he played in the competition that took place in Las Vegas: against Toronto Raptors he was 8 'on the court and managed to distribute 3 assists and achieved a rebound. Then, against Indiana Pacers he completed 4 minutes, without scoring (0-1 in three-pointers), one rebound and one steal of the ball.

After his discharge was confirmed, the Knicks decided to cut him off. The agreement between the base and the Big Apple franchise included three seasons that were not guaranteed and, given the physical problem, New Yorkers decided to dispense with their services. So it was that after participating in the Tokyo Olympics, last October he chose to have surgery to try to improve the condition of his foot.

Once he recovered from his injury, Vildoza trained at several Argentine basketball clubs such as Boca Juniors and his former club, Quilmes de Mar del Plata, and also saw action with Néstor Garcia's national basketball team in the FIBA qualifying windows for the 2023 World Cup.
