Vildoza signed a two-year contract Thursday with Serbian team KK Crvena zvezda.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Vildoza re-signed with the Bucks this summer and was attending training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal, Milwaukee gave the 27-year-old permission to negotiate with other European clubs while he was under contract, according to international basketball reporter Luca D'Alessandro. Expect Milwaukee to formally waive Vildoza in the coming days, allowing him to make the jump to Serbia. Vildoza previously signed a two-year deal with the Bucks last April, but his lone action with Milwaukee came during the postseason. He was subsequently waived in July before being re-signed.

Vildoza (coach's decision) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The guard hasn't debuted for Milwaukee since joining the team in early April, though it appears he'll be available to suit up in the postseason. It would be shocking to see him on the court for any significant amount of time, however.

Vildoza is listed as out for Friday's game against the Pistons due to a coach's decision.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Mike Budenholzer seemingly isn't ready to give the recently-signed Vildoza a look ahead of the postseason, though there's only one more chance, Sunday against the Cavaliers. Regardless, Vildoza figures only to act as an emergency option in the backcourt for Milwaukee.

Vildoza (foot) is expected to finalize a two-year contract with the Bucks in the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vildoza, the 2020 Spanish ACB League Finals MVP, signed a four-year deal with the Knicks last May and was expected to make his NBA debut this fall, but he suffered a foot injury during Las Vegas Summer League play and later underwent surgery. The Knicks ultimately waived him in October, but after months of recovery, Vildoza has been given a clean bill of health. Once the deal is finalized, Vildoza will likely require some ramp-up time, so he presumably won't be ready to play for the Bucks until the postseason. The 2022-23 campaign will thus count as his rookie season, assuming he remains on the Milwaukee roster.

Vildoza (foot) has been waived by the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
This is far from surprising, as Vildoza is expected to undergo surgery. There is talk that he might attempt to return to Europe once he's fully recovered from his injury, but his future right now is a bit uncertain.

Vildoza (foot) is in a walking boot and didn't practice Tuesday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vildoza missed the Knicks' final three Summer League games as he dealt with a sore right foot. New York lured the Argentinian away from the EuroLeague club Baskonia this offseason by signing him to a four-year, $13.6 million deal. The 26-year-old is viewed as a long-term prospect. However, it appears the Knicks' timeline for championship contention has been sped up with the emergence of Julius Randle and the acquisition of Kemba Walker, which may make Vildoza an expendable commodity if he isn't able to play during the preseason.
