The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to terms on contracts with forward Bobby Portis and veteran point guard D.J. Augustin, according to multiple reports.

Portis has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal. The Bucks will be the 25-year-old’s fourth different team of his career. He spent last season with the New York Knicks and averaged 10.1 points per game in 66 contests.

Bobby Portis is joining Milwaukee on a two-year deal, with a player option in the second season, sources said. Bucks receive a major frontcourt addition, and Portis has opportunity to play key role on a title contender. https://t.co/fr5SKO501u

The 22nd-overall pick in 2015 signed a one-year deal with the Knicks in July 2019 that included a club option, which was declined by the team earlier this week.

Augustin, 33, is reported to have agreed to a three-year, $21-million contract. The veteran of 12 NBA seasons has played with the Orlando Magic since 2016 after signing a four-year deal with the team that off-season.
