| The Bucks acquired Ibaka, Jordan Nwora and George Hill from the Pacers on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent Jae Crowder to the Bucks and five second-round picks to the Bucks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Scoop:Ibaka had been out of the rotation in Milwaukee before he and the Bucks came to an agreement a few weeks ago for him to remain away from the team while the front office explored trade options. The 33-year-old found a new home just before Thursday's trade deadline, but the move to Indiana won't guarantee him steady minutes. Myles Turner recently signed a two-year extension with the Pacers and is entrenched as the team's starting center, so Ibaka will have to vie with the likes of Daniel Theis and Isaiah Jackson for backup minutes.

| Serge Ibaka: Working with team on potential trade Ibaka (personal) and the Bucks mutually agreed Friday to begin pursuing trade opportunities, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Scoop: Ibaka left the team just under two weeks ago for what the Bucks have termed as a personal matter, and based on Charania's report, the veteran center appears poised to remain away from Milwaukee until the organization is able to find a new home for him. The 33-year-old has largely been on the outside of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation all season, appearing in just 16 games and averaging 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per contest. Even though he's signed to a cost-effective one-year, $2.91 million deal, Ibaka may not command much interest on the trade market and could be waived if the Bucks aren't able to find a taker prior to the Feb. 9 deadline for deals.

| Serge Ibaka: Return date to team unknown Ibaka (personal) is not expected to rejoin the Bucks when they return to Milwaukee following their five-game road trip that concludes Monday in Miami, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. The Scoop: Ibaka is thus without a timetable for return. However, since Ibaka wasn't a member of the Milwaukee rotation before taking a personal leave, his absence shouldn't affect how head coach Mike Budenholzer distributes the minutes in the frontcourt.

| Serge Ibaka: Out through four-game road trip Ibaka (personal reasons) will miss Milwaukee's upcoming four-game road trip, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. The Scoop: After not appearing in each of the Bucks' previous three contests, Ibaka will officially be sidelined for the team's next four showings due to a personal matter. The 33-year-old's next chance to return comes Dec. 16 against the Pacers. Jan 9 11:17 ET |
| Serge Ibaka: Sitting out Monday Ibaka won't be available for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a personal matter. The Scoop: With just two appearances in the Bucks' last 23 games, Ibaka's absence Monday shouldn't affect head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation. Jan 8 8:53 ET |
