Bucks Extend GM Jon Horst's Contract Amid Giannis Speculation

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a multiyear contract extension with general manager Jon Horst, whose previous deal was set to expire. Horst has led the Bucks since 2017, overseeing a period marked by an NBA championship, eight consecutive playoff appearances, and a .647 win percentage—second best in the NBA during his tenure. The extension signals the organization's continued confidence in Horst amid ongoing questions about the team's direction and the future of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Horst's successful run also earned him Executive of the Year honors, solidifying his reputation as one of the league's top executives. The deal was finalized this week between the Bucks and Horst's agent, Brian Elfus, before his contract expired.
