Milwaukee, WI (My Sportsbook) - The Milwaukee Bucks exercised their option on 23-year old Joel Przybilla's contract. By doing so, the team keeps the center under contract through next season. Przybilla, who would have become a restricted free agent after this season, was originally drafted out of Minnesota by the Houston Rockets in the first round (ninth pick overall) of the 2000 NBA Draft. His draft rights were traded to Milwaukee for the draft rights to Jason Collier and a future first-round pick. Playing in his third season in the NBA, Przybilla averaged career-highs in points (2.7) and rebounds (4.0) in 71 games last year. |
