GM Jon Horst, Bucks Agree To Contract Extension

The Bucks have agreed to a multiyear contract extension with general manager Jon Horst, the team announced in a press release.

“Jon’s preparedness, decision-making and leadership have been instrumental in the Bucks’ success during his tenure, and he has earned this extension,” Bucks owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens and Jamie Dinan said. “We appreciate Jon’s hard work and creativity and are excited that he will continue to lead our basketball operations for years to come.”

The Bucks finished with the NBA’s best record in 2019 and 2020, then won their first NBA championship in 50 years last season. It was their second title overall.

“I am blessed and excited to continue with the Bucks,” Horst said. “Thank you to Marc, Wes and Jamie for your continued confidence and trust in me and for giving us the resources to be successful.

“We have the best ownership in sports, and I’m humbled to work with you. I also want to express my deep appreciation to my great partners and friends, Peter Feigin and Coach Bud, as we continue building sustainable success in Milwaukee. My executive team, led by Milt Newton, is incredible, and I appreciate your support and dedication every day.

“To our players, I’m grateful for your trust, commitment, and belief, and for working incredibly hard to get better every day. You are the reason I get to live my dream, and my family and I are forever grateful. Milwaukee is our home. Go Bucks!”
