Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst has secured his future with the franchise, agreeing to a new multi-year contract extension.
The agreement was finalized this week by Horst’s agent, Brian Elfus, ensuring the Bucks retain one of the league’s most proactive and ambitious front office leaders.
Horst’s previous contract was nearing its end, making the extension a timely and critical move for the organization.
In recent weeks, Horst’s name had surfaced in connection with other high-profile front office openings around the league.
Most notably, he was reportedly a candidate for a position with the Phoenix Suns and had drawn significant interest from the Detroit Pistons during the 2024 offseason.
Despite external interest, Horst’s continued commitment to Milwaukee reaffirms the franchise’s confidence in his vision and leadership.
Since taking the reins as general manager in 2017, Horst has built a reputation for bold, win-now decisions that have helped elevate the Bucks into perennial contenders.
Under his guidance, the Bucks executed major trades for All-Stars Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard – moves that were instrumental in shaping Milwaukee’s championship-caliber core.
In addition to reshaping the roster, Horst has also been instrumental in securing long-term commitments from franchise centerpiece Giannis Antetokounmpo, signing the superstar to multiple contract extensions.
Horst’s tenure has been defined by calculated risks and aggressive moves in pursuit of championships.
His renewed deal provides stability at the top of Milwaukee’s basketball operations, as the franchise looks to stay competitive in the evolving landscape of the NBA.
