Jamaree Bouyea makes first NBA start

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. (KION) - Seaside native Jamaree Bouyea made his first NBA start for the Bucks on Sunday as Milwaukee took down the Detroit Pistons 140-133 in overtime.

Bouyea saw a career-high 47 minutes of playing time in the Bucks' regular-season finale.

The Palma grad made the most of that playing time, scoring the team's first bucket and finishing with a season-high 15 points. Bouyea dished out seven assists and grabbed three boards. He also had a pair of steals and blocks to add to a healthy stat line.

After closing out the regular season on an eight-game winning streak, the Bucks will now face the Pacers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Bouyea signed a two-way contract with Milwaukee back in March after starting the season with the NBA G League’s Austin Spurs.
