Monroe's 10-day contract with the Bucks expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe has been part of the rotation in each of the Bucks' five games since signing his 10-day deal, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game. Though Milwaukee would still have an open roster spot for Monroe if it elects to bring him back on another 10-day deal, the Bucks essentially found his replacement last week, when the team acquired Serge Ibaka from the Clippers ahead of the trade deadline. Both Ibaka and Monroe were able to pick up minutes in Monday's loss to Portland in the former's team debut, but that likely won't be the case when Giannis Antetokounmpo -- who sat out against the Trail Blazers with an ankle injury -- returns to the lineup.

Monroe (recently signed) is available to play Saturday against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old center had previously been with the Timberwolves and Wizards on 10-day deals earlier this season, averaging 5.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes. He could immediately slot in as the Bucks' top backup center behind Bobby Portis, as Milwaukee hasn't settled on an adequate replacement since DeMarcus Cousins wasn't retained in early January.

Monroe and the Bucks agreed Saturday on a 10-day contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Scotto, Monroe, who had most recently been playing for the G League's Capital City Go-Go, had multiple 10-day-deal offers on the table before electing to join the Bucks for what will be his second stint with Milwaukee. The 32-year-old center had previously been with the Timberwolves and Wizards on 10-day deals earlier this season, averaging 5.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes.

Monroe recorded 28 points (12-16 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss against Westchester.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe is beginning to dominate the competition at the G League level and while his stat-filling ability is out of any question, the fact that he's been scoring with high levels of efficiency has been huge as well. Expect Monroe to remain one of Capital City's most important players as long as he's healthy and unsigned by an NBA franchise.

Monroe notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and three steals across 37 minutes in Monday's loss against Windy City.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from putting up a double-double, Monroe managed to find a way to perform just like he did during his prime days in the NBA, leaving a mark across the board and contributing multiple tallies in all five of the major categories. While Monroe is not likely to get a 10-day contract with an NBA franchise any time soon, he remains a productive player at the G League level, and his numbers should only increase in case he remains a starter.

Monroe posted 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 22 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over the Swarm.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe returned to the G League following a short stint with the Wizards in the NBA, and while it remains to be seen if he'll get another 10-day deal with another franchise, he continues to be productive for the Go-Go even if he's not starting. The veteran big man has scored in double digits in his two appearances in the G League regular season so far.

Washington didn't re-sign Monroe after his 10-day contract expired Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe briefly held a rotation spot in his first two games with Washington, but he didn't play in any of the Wizards' last three games after falling down the pecking order once Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant made their returns from long-term absences. With no extra roster spot available for Washington to keep in the fold on another 10-day pact, Monroe will stick around in the G League with the Wizards' affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go.

Monroe won't play in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, as he's been assigned to the G League.
EDGE Analysis
With Daniel Gafford, Thomas Bryant and Montrezl Harrell all available, Monroe's role has disappeared. He may spend the rest of his 10-day deal in the G League.

Monroe registered 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks across 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 113-104 win over Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe wasn't sharp from the field, but he delivered an impressive outing across the board and filled the stat sheet despite seeing limited on-court time. The veteran has been thriving at the G League level, and it wouldn't be shocking if he signs another 10-day deal with an NBA franchise given how good he's been so far.

Monroe amassed eight points (4-7 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 14 minutes during Friday's 130-122 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe played 14 minutes off the bench in the loss, as he continues to strive for an NBA comeback. Despite playing only limited minutes, he was reasonably productive, as he was during his time in Minnesota. It is unclear if the Wizards -- or any other team -- are going to sign him for the rest of the season, but if he can carve out playing time somewhere, he could certainly have some value in deeper formats.
