As Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes, the deal is a training camp invite, given the Bucks' tight salary cap situation.
Looking to confirm it (nothing says Thanksgiving like getting information about a guy nicknamed "Sauce") but based the Bucks' cap situation it would seem Stauskas will be joining the Bucks on a training-camp deal.
