Different stories have prompt the Bucks supplied capturing guard Grayson Allen to assist land Crowder however such a deal wasn’t of curiosity to Phoenix whereas newer stories have Milwaukee sending ahead Serge Ibaka, ahead Jordan Nwora and level guard George Hill together with a bundle of draft selections to get a deal finished.
Whereas he hasn’t performed this season, Crowder appeared in 67 video games (all begins) for Phoenix in 2021-22, averaging 9.4 factors on 39.9% capturing together with 34.8% on 3-point makes an attempt to associate with 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals.
A commerce to Bucks would arrange a homecoming of types for Crowder, who performed two seasons in Milwaukee at Marquette, the place he earned BIG EAST Participant of the Yr honors in 2012 and have become simply the fifth participant in program historical past to surpass 1,000 profession factors whereas taking part in solely two seasons.
