Milwaukee Bucks sign Argentinian guard Luca Vildoza

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Luca Vildoza, a 26-year-old guard from Argentina.

The deal is expected to take him through next season, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski earlier this week.

Vildoza played two NBA Las Vegas Summer League games last year with the New York Knicks, who waived him on Oct. 3.

The 6-foot-3 Vildoza was named the Spanish ACB League Finals MVP in 2020 after helping Baskonia win the league title. He played for Baskonia from 2017-21.

He averaged 10.6 points, 3.5 assists, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 24.5 minutes in 62 games across EuroLeague and Spanish ACB competition in the 2020-21 season.

Vildoza also played with Quilmes in the Argentinian Liga A from 2011-17.
