The Milwaukee Bucks were docked a 2022 second-round pick after the NBA determined the team held discussions with Bogdan Bogdanovic or his agent before it was allowed under free agency rules.<\/p>\n

The league said Monday the Bucks' rule violation constituted "conduct detrimental to the NBA."<\/p>\n

Reports surfaced in the days leading to the start of last month's free agency period that the Bucks had agreed on a sign-and-trade that would have brought Bogdanovic and Justin James to Milwaukee while sending Donte DiVincenzo, D.J. Wilson and Ersan Ilyasova to the Sacramento Kings.<\/p>\n

The trade fizzled as the NBA announced it was investigating whether the move had been agreed upon earlier than league rules allow.<\/p>\n

Bogdanovic, a restricted free agent, ended up signing with Atlanta when Sacramento chose to not match the Hawks' four-year, $95 million (AUD) offer sheet. Ilyasova was waived, but DiVincenzo and Wilson remain with the Bucks.<\/p>\n

NBA officials said they took into account several factors in the decision: the Bucks' cooperation with the investigation; the Bucks ultimately not signing Bogdanovic; and the lack of evidence of an impermissible early agreement on contract terms.<\/p>\n

"We were fully cooperative with the league and we look forward to our season beginning on Wednesday," the Bucks said Monday in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
