Milwaukee Bucks
MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — The Milwaukee Bucks have rewarded GM Jon Horst with a contract extension after he helped craft last year’s NBA championship team.
Horst and the Bucks announced the deal on Friday. The length of the deal was not disclosed, but Horst had one year left on his previous deal.
Since Horst took over as GM in 2017 the Bucks have made the playoffs in each year. In the last three seasons, they lead the league in both regular-season and playoff wins (162 and 31, respectively).
“Jon’s preparedness, decision-making and leadership have been instrumental in the Bucks’ success during his tenure, and he has earned this extension,” said Bucks owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens, and Jamie Dinan. “We appreciate Jon’s hard work and creativity and are excited that he will continue to lead our basketball operations for years to come.”
The 2021-22 season will be Horst’s 14th season with the Bucks. They’ll play one more preseason tune-up tonight against the Dallas Mavericks before opening the regular season on Tuesday, October 19th against the Brooklyn Nets in a rematch of last year’s thrilling seven-game conference semifinals series.
