Report: Brook Lopez Expected To Leave Bucks This Offseason

According to Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm, Brook Lopez is expected to leave the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason. 

Lopez becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason. 

“Most everyone I’ve spoken to assume Brook Lopez is gone,” Moore wrote. “Lopez might be one of the bigger names on the market. He’s certainly at the end of his career, but like Al Horford, he’s a complete pro and a winner who’s easy to fit into a team culture and find a role for, and still makes a difference defensively night to night.”

Lopez appeared in 80 games for the Bucks this season. He averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 50.9% from the field, 37.3% from beyond the arc and 82.6% from the free-throw line. 

A one-time All-Star, Lopez helped the Bucks win the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns. He has played for the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Bucks. 

Lopez has career averages of 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists. It will be interesting to see where the veteran center is playing next season.
