Sydney Kings rising star Jaylin Galloway is set to link up with Eastern Conference contender Milwaukee according to a prominent NBA insider.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania broke the news of Galloway’s impending move in the early hours of Saturday morning, revealing the Bucks plan to sign the 21-year-old on a two-way NBA contract.
A two-way deal gives teams the flexibility to develop players by rostering them on both the NBA team and its G League affiliate.

The 6-foot-7 wing, who has averaged 10.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season with the Kings, is poised to sign on for two years according to ESPN.
Galloway is set to join the Bucks for the remainder of Milwaukee’s 2023-24 campaign as well as the 2024-25 season according to the ESPN report.
ESPN’s Olgun Uluc later added that prior to his release to the Bucks, Galloway had signed a new three-year deal with the Kings, who hold his NBL rights through to the 2026-27 season in case he decides to come back to the league.
It follows a report from Marc Stein on his Substack which claimed Galloway was “said to be generating NBA interest” after his latest season with the Kings, who were eliminated from the NBL Finals after a 83-76 loss to the New Zealand Breakers in the Play-In game.
Stein wrote that Galloway is “regarded as a player with considerable defensive potential”, noting he had played for the Minnesota Timberwolves at the NBA Summer League last July.
“It was good. I expected it to be a little fast paced, but it is pretty similar to the NBL, so it wasn’t too surprising,” Galloway told NBL Media at the time.
“It is a learning experience, and I am taking in all the information that I can.”
