Akron native Chris Livingston, a forward in the Milwaukee Bucks organization, will get his chance to shine.

It just won’t be with the Bucks – for now.

The Bucks sent Livingston to their NBA G-League team the Wisconsin Herd in Oshkosh Wednesday, which may be the prudent move for the rookie.

Livingston, on a team with championship potential and aspirations, was languishing on the Bucks bench unable to get on the floor.

Livingston played in two Bucks games, the most recent coming in a 112-97 loss to the Orlando Magic Nov. 11.

He’s averaging 2.5 points and half an assist in his very limited playing time. He was taken 58th overall in this past summer's NBA Draft.
