The Bucks and Serge Ibaka have agreed to try to find the veteran big man a new home via the trade market, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Ibaka has been away from the Bucks for the last six games for personal reasons and Charania’s report suggests the 33-year-old will remain away from the team as it explores potential deals.
Formerly one of the NBA’s top shot blockers in Oklahoma City and a key part of a championship team in Toronto, Ibaka was – in his prime – capable of protecting the rim on defense and knocking down outside shots on offense. However, he has been slowed by back issues in recent years and has seen his production drop off.
Acquired from the Clippers at last season’s trade deadline, Ibaka appeared in 19 regular season games for Milwaukee down the stretch, averaging 7.0 PPG and 5.3 RPG with a .519/.351/.800 shooting line in 17.8 MPG, but he wasn’t part of the Bucks’ playoff rotation. In 2022/23, he has played a career-low 11.6 minutes per game in 16 appearances, putting up 4.1 PPG and 2.8 RPG on .481/.333/.615 shooting in his limited role.
Given his decline in playing time and performance, Ibaka likely won’t generate a bidding war on the trade market, but his one-year, minimum-salary contract is about as team-friendly as it gets, so a deal is possible. It sounds like he’d be a strong candidate for a buyout if the Bucks can’t find a trade partner.
Prior to Charania’s report, Ian Begley of SNY.tv (Twitter video link) had mentioned Ibaka as a possible target for the Knicks if the team wants to add more frontcourt depth in the wake of Mitchell Robinson‘s thumb injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who invented basketball
Although the exact origins of basketball remain a mystery, it is widely believed that James Naismith, a teacher at Springfield College (now YMCA) Training School, in Springfield, Massachusetts, created the game in 1891. Naismith wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto an elevated track. He broke his class down into nine teams, and then began to teach his new game "Basket Ball" to his students. Original version included a soccer ball and two baskets of peaches attached to each end of a gymnasium. Players could only shoot at the basket from below; goaltending was not yet a part of the game. The game spread rapidly across America. In the early 1900s, professional basketball teams were playing in large arenas. It is now one of most popular sports around the world.
