Shockwave in Milwaukee: Brook Lopez Likely Done with Bucks After 7 Iconic Seasons
As the NBA offseason approaches, the Milwaukee Bucks face several key decisions—none bigger than the future of veteran center Brook Lopez. With free agency just over a month away, it appears Lopez’s time in Milwaukee may be nearing its end.
According to NBA analyst Jake Weinbach, Lopez and the Bucks are “most likely” to part ways this offseason. If true, it would mark the end of a significant chapter for both parties. Over the past seven seasons, Lopez has been a cornerstone of Milwaukee’s defense and a critical part of their 2021 championship run. His Bucks résumé includes 545 total games, 75 playoff starts, and two All-Defensive Team selections.
At 36 years old, Lopez remains a valuable contributor on both ends of the floor, making him an attractive option for teams in need of a rim protector and floor-spacer. While the Bucks must prepare for life without him, Lopez is unlikely to remain a free agent for long if he does move on.
Milwaukee now faces the challenge of retooling its aging roster while maintaining championship aspirations, and Lopez’s potential departure could be the first major domino to fall.
