fb.com/maplepub Page 12 x oshkoshherald.com March 27, 2019 Herd loses out; Bucks waive Wood and Duval By Ti Windisch Herald contributor

The Wisconsin Herd lost its final four regular season games after back-to-back home wins to finish with a 12-38 record in a tough second season. Two Milwaukee Bucks roster moves im- pacted the end of Wisconsin’s season, as Herd mainstays Christian Wood and Trev- on Duval were both released by the Bucks in March. Wood’s NBA roster spot was needed elsewhere, as Malcolm Brogdon will miss weeks of action with a foot injury and lingering issues caused Sterling Brown, Donte DiVincenzo and George Hill to miss time as well. In response, the Bucks waived Wood, who was claimed quickly by the New Orleans Pelicans, and signed Tim Frazier to provide guard depth. Duval’s release is less cut and dried. NBA teams cannot add two-way players after Jan. 15 of an NBA season, so Duval will not be replaced until the offseason. Duval did not play in either of Wisconsin’s last two games and hadn’t played for the Bucks since early February. The 20-year-old point guard showed promise in his first professional season but spent time both coming off the bench and Photos by Emil Vajgrt in the starting lineup. Duval averaged 12.6 Herd forward Christian Wood scored 35 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 points and had 15 rebounds against the steals per game.
