Serge Ibaka traded to Bucks as part of four-team deal
The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks have acquired some frontcourt help ahead of the trade deadline, and they did so via a massive four-team deal.
The Los Angeles Clippers have traded Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. There are several more moving parts in the deal, as Milwaukee guard Donte DiVencenzo is headed to the Sacramento Kings. Marvin Bagley III has been traded to the Detroit Pistons, who sent Josh Jackson and Trey Lyles to the Kings. The Clippers landed Rodney Hood and Semi Ojele.
Here’s a full recap of the players involved and their new teams:

Full trade participants:
Kings: Donte DiVincenzo, Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson.
Bucks: Serge Ibaka, two future second-round picks, cash.
Clippers: Rodney Hood, Semi Ojele.
Pistons: Marvin Bagley Jr.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 10, 2022
Ibaka’s numbers are down across the board this season. The 32-year-old has averaged 6.6 points and 4.3 rebounds while playing just 15.4 minutes per game. He is, however, a quality depth piece for the Bucks who has significant playoff and NBA Finals experience.
The Clippers entered Thursday with a record of 27-29. This is not the first move they have made to shake up their roster ahead of the trade deadline.
