Wizards shed Jodie Meeks' contract in trade with Bucks
The Washington Wizards are trading guard Jodie Meeks, a future second-round pick and cash to the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Bucks, who are loaded in the backcourt, will waive Meeks, sources said.
The NBA suspended Meeks in April for 25 games for a violation of the league's drug program. He has 19 games left on the suspension.
The 31-year-old Meeks averaged 6.3 points and 1.6 rebounds in 77 games as a reserve for the Wizards last season, with 34 percent shooting on 3-point attempts.
Those 2017-18 statistics are within range of Meeks' career averages over 531 games, including 204 starts, across nine seasons with six teams in the league: 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists, with 37 percent shooting on 3s.
The nine-year veteran was originally selected by Milwaukee in the second round of the 2009 draft before being traded that season to Philadelphia.
