Bucks waive former first-rounder Justin Patton, EJ Montgomery

Justin Patton and EJ Montgomery, who both signed with the Bucks earlier this month, have been waived, the team announced. Neither player saw any action in Milwaukee’s two preseason games.

Patton, 23, was the 16th pick in the 2017 draft, but injuries have  limited him to nine total NBA games with three teams. He was also waived  by the Clippers last month, shortly after being acquired from the  Pistons.

Montgomery, 21, went undrafted last month out of Kentucky. He averaged 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game in two seasons with the Wildcats.

The Bucks now have 18 players on their roster and have until Saturday to make one more cut.
