The trade ends Antetokounmpo's 13-year run in Milwaukee, where he won two MVP awards and led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA title. Miami pairs Antetokounmpo with Bam Adebayo to strengthen its championship hopes, while Milwaukee begins a rebuild centered on young talent and future draft assets.

22.6.26 Atlanta
The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a one-year, $21 million contract extension with veteran guard CJ McCollum, keeping him with the team beyond his previous deal.

Free-agent guard Collin Gillespie has agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract to remain with the Phoenix Suns after emerging as one of the team's key contributors. He enjoyed a breakout season, setting a Suns franchise record with 232 three-pointers while averaging career highs of 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has opted into his $21.6 million player option for the 2026-27 season. The 33-year-old veteran, a two-time NBA champion, missed the final 31 games of last season after undergoing surgery on his right pinkie finger. In 51 games with Memphis, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds, posting his lowest scoring and playing-time figures since his rookie season.
Timberwolves bring back Mike Conley
18.2.26 Minnesota
The Minnesota Timberwolves re-signed veteran guard Mike Conley to a minimum contract after trading him in a cost-cutting move. Conley was dealt to the Chicago Bulls, then sent to the Charlotte Hornets and waived, making him eligible to return. The move helped Minnesota drop below the luxury tax apron and add Ayo Dosunmu.
Highsmith agrees multiyear deal with Suns
16.2.26 Phoenix
Free agent Haywood Highsmith has agreed to a multiyear contract with the Phoenix Suns after weighing interest from several playoff contenders. The 29-year-old forward was traded from the Miami Heat to the Brooklyn Nets last offseason before being waived at the trade deadline. Highsmith has yet to play this season as he recovers from summer knee surgery but is expected to add defensive intensity and versatility to a Suns side sitting 32-23 at the All-Star break.
Pacers acquire Ivica Zubac in trade with Clippers
6.2.26 Indiana
The Indiana Pacers acquired center Ivica Zubac from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks and one second-round pick. Indiana also received guard Kobe Brown in the deal. Zubac, who is averaging 14 points and 11 rebounds this season and is under contract through 2027-28, fills a major need at center following Myles Turner's offseason departure and strengthens the Pacers' interior defense.
Mavericks trade Anthony Davis to Wizards
5.2.26 Dallas
The Mavericks agreed to trade Anthony Davis to the Wizards in an eight-player deal aimed at creating financial and roster flexibility to build around Cooper Flagg. Dallas will send Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to Washington in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round picks and three second-rounders. The move drops Dallas below the luxury tax, sheds future salary and positions the team for another lottery pick, while Washington acquires a star center as it looks to become competitive after its rebuild.
Warriors acquire Porzingis for Kuminga and Hield
5.2.26 Gold. St.
The Warriors agreed to trade Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Hawks for veteran center Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis gives the Warriors a stretch, rim-protecting center they believe fits alongside Draymond Green, though his health remains a concern after appearing in only 17 games this season. Atlanta acquires Kuminga as a high-upside wing on a controllable contract, while Golden State also dealt Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Raptors for a 2026 Lakers second-round pick.
