Brook Lopez has officially joined the Los Angeles Clippers, signing a two-year deal worth $17.9 million after a notable seven-year stint with the Milwaukee Bucks. Lopez was a key player during the Bucks’ 2021 championship run, contributing significantly with averages of 13 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks over 469 games. The Bucks, however, are looking to enhance their roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo and have secured Myles Turner with a four-year, $107 million contract, believing him to be a better fit as starting center.

Lopez expressed gratitude for his time in Milwaukee, highlighting the special bond he built with teammates and staff. His departure marks a significant shift for the Bucks, who hope to leverage Turner's dynamic playstyle to continue their championship aspirations.
