Milwaukee Bucks athlete Andre Jackson Jr. was not hurt after crashing his car into an apartment building.

Jackson, 22, drove his vehicle into a Yankee Hill apartment complex on Saturday, October 26, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Per the outlet, the local fire department responded to a report of a car crashing into a building in the morning. While there was property damage, no one on the scene appeared to be injured.

Andre will be joining the team in New York for tomorrow’s game.”

Horst continued, “We learned more and more about the young man that he is, studied him more in his game and just felt really excited to have an opportunity to draft him.”

“I’m definitely going through this thing for the first time, and it’s an 82-game season,” he said in a December 2023 press conference. “A lot more wear-and-tear on the body than college and in high school have been, so it’s definitely different. It’s going to take some adjusting and learning to strengthen my core [and] other parts of my body.”

At the time, Jackson just wanted to “get better” and “get stronger” as an athlete.

“I pride myself on staying ready. I’m never going to let the moment surpass me, that’s just something that I’ve grown over the years is just to realize that every day is an opportunity,” Jackson stated. “Even today in practice, that’s an opportunity for me to show the coaches that I’m locked in and I’m trying to learn and I’m trying to be a part of this team.”

He added, “I love to compete and I’m never hiding from that. I’m never running from that.”
