La Crosse native and Wisconsin Badgers alum Bronson Koenig is starting his pro career close to home.
Koenig signed with the Milwaukee Bucks as an undrafted free agent Thursday after being named to the team’s summer league roster Saturday.
Koenig is expected to spend most of his time with the Bucks’ G-League — the renamed NBA D-League — affiliate in Oshkoh, the Wisconsin Herd.
The Bucks also signed undrafted free agent JeQuan Lewis.
A player on a two-way contract makes his G-League salary while playing for an affiliate team, and a pro-rated NBA salary while playing with the parent club.
