Milwaukee está apostando em Kel’el Ware e Kasparas Jakucionis para 2027/28, exercendo as opções de equipe da escala de novatos dos dois antes do prazo desta segunda-feira. A informação chegou ao HoopsHype de Michael Scotto por fontes da liga.

Para Ware a decisão cobriu a opção do quarto ano; para Jakucionis, a do terceiro. Ware recebe US$ 7,1 milhões garantidos em 2027/28, e o valor da escala de novato para Jakucionis fica em US$ 4 milhões.

Os dois chegaram de Miami no verão, na troca bilionária de Giannis Antetokounmpo, então as garantias respaldam dois jogadores que Milwaukee só recentemente contratou.

Ware foi a 15ª escolha geral do draft de 2024 e ficará elegível para extensão na escala de novatos na próxima offseason. Jakucionis, 20ª escolha geral há um ano, tem um marco depois: Milwaukee tem até 1º de novembro de 2027 para decidir sobre a opção do quarto ano.

Em 77 jogos da temporada regular em 2025/26, a segunda dele, o pivô de 2,13 m teve médias de 11,1 pontos, 9,0 rebotes e 1,1 tocos em 22,1 minutos. Nos seis jogos desta temporada, está em 13,0 pontos, 8,7 rebotes e 0,7 toco por noite em 19,7 minutos.

Jakucionis, armador lituano de 1,96 m, teve médias de 6,2 pontos, 2,6 assistências e 2,6 rebotes com 42,9%/42,3%/87,9% nos arremessos em 53 partidas de novato, com 17,8 minutos. Em 2026/27, os números são 8,3 pontos, 4,0 assistências e 2,8 rebotes com 45,5%/23,5%/88,9% em 22,5 minutos nos seis jogos.

Em outros pontos do calendário de opções de 2027/28, o Hornets ainda precisa decidir sobre Tidjane Salaun e o Nuggets sobre DaRon Holmes, segundo o levantamento.
