Brook Lopez Agrees to Bucks' 1-Year Contract After 1 Season with Lakers
Brook Lopez will be changing uniforms for the second straight season.
Lopez agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, ESPN's Chris Haynes reported Sunday. According to Haynes, Lopez will sign for one year at the bi-annual exception of $3.3 million.
The 30-year-old spent the first nine years of his career with the Brooklyn Nets franchise before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers along with the 27th pick in the 2017 NBA draft (which turned out to be Kyle Kuzma) in exchange for D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov.
Playing in a reduced role for the rebuilding Lakers, Lopez averaged career lows in scoring (13.0 points per game), shooting percentage (46.5 percent) and minutes (23.4 minutes). His rebounds (4.0) and blocks (1.3) were also among the worst of his career.
The 7'0", 268-pound center has now averaged 17.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.2 minutes per game in 10 seasons. Before 2017-18, he had averaged at least 20 points per game in three of the past four years.
