Roster crunch intensifies after Jake Stephens signing

The September 17 signing of 6-foot-11 center Jake Stephens, alongside John Butler Jr.'s camp addition, leaves Milwaukee managing a 17-player roster and a crowded developmental center group behind Myles Turner and Kel'el Ware. Stephens, Butler and Jericho Sims remain auditions, Pete Nance is vulnerable, and final roster decisions are unresolved.
