BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks Reportedly Interested In Recent NBA All-Star
The NBA trading deadline is less than three weeks away, so rumors have continued to heat up around the league.
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has been one of the most mentioned players in rumors.
The latest tidbit about Murray comes from Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and the NBA on TNT, who reports that the Milwaukee Bucks are a team with interest in the 2022 NBA All-Star.
Via Haynes: "Milwaukee Bucks are among multiple teams who are registering interest in trading for Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport."
Murray is in his second season with Atlanta and is currently averaging 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 41.0% from the three-point range in 28 games.
He still remains among the most talented guards in the Eastern Conference, but the Hawks have gotten off to a slow start to the season.
They are the tenth seed with a 17-23 record in their first 40 games.
In the team's most recent game, Murray made a buzzer-beater to beat the Orlando Magic (at home) by a score of 106-104.
On Friday evening, the Hawks will face off against the Heat in Miami.
As for the Bucks, they traded for Damian Lillard over the offseason, so it's unclear why they'd have interest in Murray.
The team is currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 28-13 record in their first 41 games.
They will face off against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday in Michigan.
