Free agent forward Ousmane Dieng has agreed to return to the Milwaukee Bucks on a three-year, $17.5 million contract, according to ESPN.

Dieng finished last season strongly after being acquired from the Thunder at the trade deadline, earning a larger role in Milwaukee’s rotation with his versatile play on both ends of the floor.

The new agreement was finalized between Bucks officials and Dieng’s representatives, Michael Tellem of Excel Sports Management and Marius Rutkauskas, securing the former lottery pick’s future with the franchise for the next three seasons.
