Sources: Bucks, GM Jon Horst reach multiyear extension

The Milwaukee Bucks have inked Jon Horst to an extended contract after 13 years as their general manager. The deal comes as the franchise seeks stability following a rocky start to this season and a playoff drought spanning over two decades. Horst, whose bold acquisitions brought in All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo and star player Damian Lillard, has guided the team to an .647 winning percentage since becoming GM in 2017. However, his leadership has yet to translate into consistent playoff success. Despite coach Doc Rivers' emphasis on stability within the organization, the Bucks remain focused on building a championship contender.
