Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon said he would love to playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, but the team did not want to keep him.

“I would’ve loved to play for this team, if they had wanted me,” Brogdon told reporters before the Pacers’ 117-89 loss. “If they had valued me the way the Pacers value me. That’s all I gotta say.”

Brogdon, who joined the Pacers during the summer via a sign-and-trade deal, returned to Milwaukee on Sunday (22/12) for the first time as an opponent.

He is averaging 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game, all career-highs, while Indiana is at 20-10. On the other, the Bucks are on top of the NBA, with a 27-4 record.
