At the same time, the Bucks are sending Serge Ibaka to the Indiana Pacers as part of Crowder deal with the Nets.
The 32-year-old forward Crowder, who hasn’t played all season was dealt to Nets as part of the trade package for All-NBA forward Kevin Durant and T. J. Warren.
The Nets felt it had a chance to move Crowder to a contender and add a player before Thursday’s trade deadline in making the trade with Phoenix.
Crowder is in the final season of his contract but was facing a diminished role with the emergence of forward Cameron Johnson, one of the several factors that may have led to Crowder’s request for a trade.
