Monta Ellis says he’s not thinking about his contract or where he will be next season.

That’s why there was so much talk about Ellis’ on-court demeanor Saturday night, when he took nine shots and scored just eight points in the Bucks’ 105-100 home loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Ellis’ body language seemed to signal a certain unhappiness or discontent.

But the Bucks shooting guard insisted after practice Sunday that he is fully committed to the team’s success.

“I go out and play hard every night,” Ellis said. “I do whatever it takes to help my team win. I don’t know why people are doubting that or whatever.”
