Frank Mason III loses qualifying offer from Bucks, becomes UFA

After being tendered a qualifying offer by the Bucks a few days ago that would have made him a restricted two-way free agent, point guard Frank Mason III saw that option withdrawn, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Mason is now back on the market as an unrestricted free agent.

The 5-foot-11 point guard out of Kansas spent his first two seasons in the league with the Kings, appearing in a total of 90 games. He then signed a two-way contract with the Bucks in 2019-20.

Mason logged nine games for Milwaukee and 23 for the Bucks’ G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. He thrived with the Bucks’ Oshkosh-based minor league club. Mason was the G League’s Most Valuable Player for the 2019-20 season, averaging a league-best 26.4 points, along with 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds.
