Bucks Young Guard crashes car into Milwaukee apartment building

Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. crashed Saturday into an apartment building in downtown Milwaukee after the team’s morning practice. Jackson’s car was the only vehicle involved in the accident.

Jackson reportedly received no medical attention and was not injured during the crash. No people were injured in the crash.

Barry Baum, Bucks director of communications, released a statement after the accident on Saturday evening.

“Andre was involved in a single-vehicle accident after this morning’s team practice. Andre was alone in his car,” Baum said via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Luckily no one was injured and he did not require medical attention. Andre will join the team in New York tomorrow.”

The crash appeared to damage a metal fence and brick wall at the apartment complex.

Jackson is not expected to miss any time due to the crash. The plan remains that Jackson will travel with the team for their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. The Bucks enter the game at 1-1, looking for their second win of the season.

The 22-year-old is yet to score a point for the Bucks in their first two games of the season. He appeared in just one minute of action during the Bucks’ first game of the season.

Jackson played in four games for the Bucks in the preseason, tallying seven points, thirteen rebounds and two assists over the four games.

Jackson played in 57 games for the Bucks in the 2023-2024 season, starting eight of those games. He averaged 2.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game during his rookie season.

The 6-foot-1 guard was the No. 36 overall pick by the Orlando Magic in the 2023 NBA Draft. The Magic traded Jackson to the Bucks on draft night. Before entering the NBA, Jackson played college basketball at UConn, helping the Huskies win a national championship in 2023.
