Former Virginia point guard Kihei Clark will make his second appearance in the NBA Summer League, this time for the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced on Wednesday. Clark is the fifth former UVA basketball player confirmed to be playing in the NBA 2K25 Summer League, joining Ryan Dunn (Phoenix Suns), Reece Beekman (Golden State Warriors), Jay Huff (Orlando Magic), and Armaan Franklin (Denver Nuggets).

Clark's first season in the professional ranks was spent in the G League, where he played in eight games and made two starts for the Wisconsin Herd, Milwaukee's G League affiliate, averaging 2.8 points, 4.1 assists, and 1.1 rebounds in 17.8 minutes per game. Last year, Clark concluded his five-year UVA career as a three-time All-ACC selection, the program's all-time leader in wins (122), assists (718), games (161), and starts (141), and the ACC's all-time leader in conference wins (76) and minutes (5,339).

Clark will look to earn more playing time in the Summer League this time around, as he played in three games for the Utah Jazz last summer, averaging 10.0 minutes, 2.0 points, and 1.7 assists per game.
