Free agent forward Amir Coffey has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Thursday.
Coffey was one of the few notable free agents still available on the open market, as things have died down considerably in the NBA with most teams around the league content with their rosters and looking forward to polishing things up during the upcoming NBA preseason.

The Bucks have made some interesting moves during this NBA offseason, with the team seemingly hoping to convince Antetokounmpo to stick around for a bit longer to compete for another title in Milwaukee.
Along with bringing in Coffey to provide some depth to their roster, the Bucks also made a significant signing in free agency by convincing Myles Turner to leave the Indiana Pacers to share the frontcourt with Antetokounmpo. However, this move also resulted in the team parting ways with superstar Damian Lillard, who tore an Achilles tendon during the NBA playoffs.
Brook Lopez was also a notable name who found a new home over the summer as he essentially changed places with Coffey by signing with the Clippers as a free agent.
In 72 regular-season games with the Clippers last season, Coffey averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent from deep.
