MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WFRV) – The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly acquiring Marquette alumni Jae Crowder ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring Jae Crowder in a trade with Brooklyn. It is reported that the Bucks are sending five second-round picks and Jordan Nwora.

Nwora, George Hill, Serge Ibaka, and three second-rounders are reportedly heading to the Indiana Pacers. Brooklyn acquired Crowder, and other assets, after trading Kevin Durant to Phoenix early Thursday morning.
