"We keep looking for that position just to be a good role player," Bucks coach Doc Rivers said prior to Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. "[We want Andre to] just be an athlete. Be quick to the ball. Defend, understand your role."
Rivers did not commit to the lineup change long-term, but said he made the shift on Thursday to help Trent snap out of his early season skid. After signing a veteran minimum deal with Milwaukee this offseason, Trent has struggled in his first seven games, shooting 28% from the field and 23% from 3.
"I'm just trying to give him room to breathe," Rivers said. "And get out of his little thing because I know he will."
In other team news, Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to Milwaukee's lineup Thursday after missing a game with a right adductor strain. The Bucks' injury report had listed Antetokounmpo as questionable.
