The Milwaukee Bucks made one of the more surprising moves ahead of the 2024-25 trade deadline by sending longtime forward Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma. While the trade raised eyebrows around the league,

Middleton became one of the best second options in the NBA with the Bucks. He became a three-time All-Star with the team and helped the franchise win the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns. He was also the reliable closer next to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks announced earlier today that they’ve agreed to a multi-year contract extension with general manager Jon Horst. The deal, negotiated this week between the Bucks and Horst’s agent Brian Elfus, keeps the 2021 NBA championship executive in Milwaukee for the foreseeable future, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
