MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls agreed to a trade ahead of Thursday's deadline that brings a familiar face back to Wisconsin.
According to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania, Milwaukee sent Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey to Phoenix in exchange for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis. Richards then went to the Bulls, who sent Ousmane Dieng to the Bucks.
Local perspective:
Hayes-Davis played four seasons for the Wisconsin Badgers, during which he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors once and third-team conference honors twice. He's third on Wisconsin's all-time scoring list and is the only Badgers player in the top 10 for points, rebounds and assists.
Hayes started all 40 games during the Badgers' run to the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament championship game, finishing the season second on the team in rebounds and third in points.
