Report: Nets Trading Tyler Zeller to Bucks
The Nets and Bucks have agreed to a trade that will send Tyler Zeller to Milwaukee, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Brooklyn will receive a second-round pick and Rashad Vaughn in exchange, according to Wojnarowski.
Zeller signed a two-year deal with the Nets before this season and is owed $1.9 million next season. He is averaging 7.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game as the Nets’ starting center. The trade should provide an opportunity for Jahlil Okafor, acquired in a trade with the Sixers earlier this season, to see more playing time.
Vaughn, a 2015 first-round pick, is averaging 12.3 points per game in limited action this season.
