The Milwaukee Bucks are trading NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards and getting Kyle Kuzma back in the deal, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Also in the trade: A.J. Johnson goes from the Bucks to the Wizards and Patrick Baldwin goes from the Wizards to the Bucks, along with a future pick swap and some second-round draft capital, said the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the trade had yet to receive league approval.

The move, first reported by ESPN, came one day before today’s 3 p.m. Eastern trade deadline in the NBA.

The 33-year-old Middleton, who has struggled with injuries, leaves the Bucks after spending all but one of his 13 NBA seasons in Milwaukee. The three-time All-Star has been limited to 23 games this season, 16 of those coming off the bench, but was shooting a career-best 51% in those appearances.

Middleton helped the Bucks win the NBA title in 2021, helped the United States win gold at the Tokyo Games later that year and was someone that Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has raved about for years.

“It’s definitely a plus having Khris back,” Antetokounmpo said earlier this season when Middleton was available again following ankle issues. “Man, he takes us to the next level with his IQ, decision-making, shot ability, defense.”

Milwaukee will become Kuzma’s third team, after four years with the Los Angeles Lakers and parts of four years with the Wizards. The 29-year-old has averaged 17.2 points per game for his career, 15.2 points per game this season.

WIZARDS TRADE CENTER VALANCIUNAS TO KINGS >> The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade center Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings for Sidy Cissoko and two second-round draft picks, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade hadn’t been announced.

The Kings just acquired the 6-foot-6 Cissoko from San Antonio in the three-team deal that sent De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and Zach LaVine from Chicago to Sacramento. Now he’s set to join a young, rebuilding Washington team that has the worst record in the NBA.

Valanciunas, 32, is averaging 11.5 points and 8.2 rebounds this season despite playing a career-low 20.1 minutes per game.

Cissoko was drafted in the second round by the Spurs in 2023. He’s appeared in 17 games this season, averaging 3.2 minutes.

PELICANS TRADE CENTER THEIS TO OKC fOR CASH >> The New Orleans Pelicans traded center Daniel Theis and a 2031 second-round draft pick to the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder for cash.

The 6-8 Theis has appeared in 38 games with nine starts for New Orleans this season, averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game.

Theis is an eight-year NBA veteran from Germany with career averages of 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 411 games.

CAVALIERS 118, PISTONS 115 >> Darius Garland hit a 31-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer Wednesday to give visiting Cleveland a win over Detroit.

The Cavaliers overcame nine points from the Pistons’ Cade Cunningham in 11 seconds.

SPURS 126, HAWKS 125 >> Victor Wembanyama broke a tie with a free throw with 2.4 seconds left and De’Aaron Fox scored 24 points in his first game for visiting San Antonio, leading the Spurs to a victory over Atlanta.

Fox arrived from Sacramento in a three-team trade Sunday and started as Wembanyama’s new point guard. Wembanyama had 24 points, Fox had 13 assists.

Trae Young had 32 points with 12 assists for the Hawks.

BUCKS 112, HORNETS 102 >> Damian Lillard had 29 points and 12 assists, Bobby Portis had 23 points and 17 rebounds in his first game since Jan. 23 and visiting Milwaukee defeated Charlotte in its first game since trading longtime guard Khris Middleton.
