MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst has agreed to a multiyear contract extension, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. After weeks of negotiating, Horst, 42, remains as the organization’s lead decision maker.

The Bucks have reached a multiyear extension with GM Jon Horst, sources told ESPN. Milwaukee has made the playoffs in all eight of Horst's seasons as GM.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Dillard, and the Milwaukee Bucks are facing a very important Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. After losing the first two games of the series, the Bucks cannot afford to go down 3-0 against a red-hot Pacers squad.

With the Bucks already trailing after a convincing Game 1 victory for the Indiana Pacers, Damian Lillard is set to return for Milwaukee at the perfect time. Dame was a huge get for the Bucks after bringing him in from the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023, and prior to being sidelined this season he was averaging nearly 25 points per game.
