On Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will be in Orlando to play the Magic.

Before the game, Evan Sidery of Forbes reported that Pat Connaughton is on the trading block.

The former Notre Dame star is averaging 4.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest while shooting 38.2% from the field and 29.8% from the three-point range in 18 games.

Via Sidery: "The Bucks are actively attempting to find a team willing to take on Pat Connaughton’s contract in a salary dump trade to get under the second apron.

Milwaukee is $6.5 million over the second apron, so if they dip below it they could gain access to aggregating salaries together."
