Michael Carter-Williams not ruling out return to Bucks in free agency
The Milwaukee Bucks traded guard Michael Carter-Williams to the Chicago Bulls last October, but the two sides may not have seen the last of each other.
Before the Bucks and the Bulls played each other on Sunday, Carter-Williams, who will be a restricted free agent this summer, said that while he would like to re-sign in Chicago, he isn’t ruling out a return to Milwaukee either, per Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times.
Michael Carter is a free agent this summer and wants to return to Bulls, but is leaving options open. He isn't ruling out a return to Bucks.

The 25-year-old Carter-Williams, who is averaging 7.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 20.3 minutes per game this season, never really found his way in his two partial seasons with the Bucks. He struggled to carve out a consistent role and quickly lost the faith of head coach Jason Kidd. In fact, it was until Milwaukee dealt Carter-Williams, handed the keys of their offense over to Giannis Antetokounmpo, and signed Matthew Dellavedova as additional point guard depth that they really began to develop into a playoff contender. The former Rookie of the Year hasn’t been much better as a Bull either, so it’s unlikely that the interest here will be mutual.
