The Milwaukee Bucks have requested waivers on guard Roko Ukic (6-5, 190), General Manager John Hammond announced today. Ukic requested to have his contract voided by Milwaukee, removing any further obligation by the Bucks for the remainder of his contract.
"Roko asked to be released from his contract in order to pursue other playing opportunities," said Hammond. "We appreciate his hard work and professionalism while with the Bucks and wish him well in his career."
In 13 games for the Bucks this season, Ukic averaged 3.1 points in 7.5 minutes per game. He was acquired along with Carlos Delfino from Toronto on August 18 for Amir Johnson and Sonny Weems.
The Bucks roster now stands at 14 players.
