Shams Charania tells us that Serge Ibaka will soon be traded by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Congolese interior had been away from his franchise for several days, and has only played 16 games with the Daims this season.
The Milwaukee Bucks and center Serge Ibaka have mutually agreed to find the 14-year NBA veteran a new home via trade as he remains away from the team, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

The NBA’s favorite chef will soon have a new kitchen. The native of Brazzaville, the Congolese capital, had, on his own initiative, withdrawn from the group of Milwaukee Bucks for personal reasons. The situation will remain as such until the Wisconsin franchise board finds a trade partner to get rid of the inside.
Ibaka is paid $ 2.9 million by deer management this season, at the end of which he will finally be under contract. This means that, if there is a trade, it will be done before the trade deadline set this year, we remind you, on February 9.
At 33, the one who was NBA champion in 2019 with the Raptors will be able to bring his experience to a contender… or to a young group under development. His athletic qualities and circle protection are indeed not really what they used to be.
In 2022-23, Sergio was only 0.4 against in 11.6 short minutes of average play, far from the more than 3 tarps per game that he distributed during his great years with the Thunder. To date, there are no rumors of an interest in a franchise for Air Congo. It is therefore likely that the Bucks would not obtain a truly significant counterpart if they were to conclude a trade.
Iblocka’s heyday as an NBA player seems well and truly behind him, to the point that the interior hasn’t set foot on the floor since January 1. The separation with the Bucks is imminent, remains to be seen where the great Serge will land.
