Mark Sears scores game-high 26 points vs. POR

Mark Sears

DEN Guard #19

Player Stats

Mark Sears recorded 26 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Released by the Bucks in January after joining them on a two-way deal last summer, Sears is playing with the Nuggets as an unrestricted free agent. And with Denver already having KJ Simpson on a two-way deal, the former Alabama standout is likely competing for an Exhibit 10 contract if he’s to remain with the franchise in the fall. Sears put up good scoring numbers on Thursday, shooting over 50 percent from the field, but this does not change his fantasy outlook for next season.

Mark Sears finished Sunday’s win over the Raptors with 17 points (2-of-11 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Despite inefficient shooting, the unrestricted free agent logged another solid overall performance, following Friday’s 26 points with 17 points and six assists on Sunday. He put together some quality production during the Las Vegas Summer League, which could help his chances of landing on an NBA roster beyond the offseason. Still, he likely won’t have an impact this season in regards to fantasy basketball.

FA Guard #19

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Bucks have waived Mark Sears.

Milwaukee signed Sears to a two-way deal right after he went undrafted in June. He has made a few appearances for the Bucks this year, but he has spent most of his time in the G League. He’ll be able to sign a two-way deal with a new team, but he’ll continue to suit up in the G League regardless.
Mark Sears

MIL Point Guard

Bucks signed PG Mark Sears to a two-way contract.

After two seasons at Ohio, Sears transferred to Alabama and flourished under head coach Nate Oates. A two-time All-American, the 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.4 three-pointers per game in 2024-25. Sears shot 40.3 percent from the field, a decrease of 10 percentage points compared to the 2023-24 season, and his effective field goal percentage dropped by 11 percentage points to 49.4. Along with his size, the decrease in efficiency is a concern. However, Sears can be a factor offensively, especially when put in positions where he can play downhill. While Sears is on a two-way deal, he joins a Bucks team that needs depth at the point guard position due to Damian Lillard’s Achilles tendon rupture. That isn’t enough to make the rookie a viable option in fantasy drafts, but he’ll be worth watching.

LeBron James posted a solid line on Tuesday with 14 points (5-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block against the Knicks.

Year 24 for LeBron started off well. He wasn’t explosive as a scorer, but he isn’t expected to be for this team. Facilitating and staying fresh for the playoffs will be LeBron’s priority. Still, he was involved on offense, and if he made a few more shots, he shot enough that he would’ve been over 20 points. LeBron should once again be a productive fantasy player this season and could end up paying off at his early fourth-round ADP.

Kennard exited early from Wednesday’s preseason game, and that same injury may prevent him from suiting up for the season opener a week later. Jordan Goodwin will likely be tasked with taking on a larger bench role if Kennard is unavailable.

Collin Sexton (leg) is questionable to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.

Sexton has been sidelined throughout the preseason with a leg injury, but there is a chance he returns to take on Golden State. Considering he has been sidelined for a while, his role may be limited for his first game, but he will eventually play a significant reserve role for the Lakers. Bronny James may be part of the rotation if Sexton is out.
