The Milwaukee Bucks filled their final two-way contract spot Saturday night by converting the contract of big man Marques Bolden.

Bolden joins point guards Lindell Wigginton and TyTy Washington Jr. on such deals, which allows them to play up to 50 games the Bucks while also playing for their G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.

Bolden signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks before training camp, and the team had to decide to convert it to a two-way deal or waive him before the start of the regular season. A two-way spot opened up when the team waived rookie point guard Omari Moore last week.

The 6-foot-10-inch Bolden averaged about 11 minutes in three preseason games.

Bolden played at Duke University from 2016-19 and went undrafted. He played in one game for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2019-20 and six games for the Cavs in 2020-21. The 25-year-old also was in camp with the Bucks last year.

He's also appeared in 74 G League games.
