Ibaka, 33, stated he signed with Milwaukee realizing he wasn’t going to play as a lot as he wished to and that he had talked in regards to the scenario with former coach Mike Budenholzer earlier than signing. “(Budenholzer) informed me to my face: Hear, you’re coming right here, I promise you nothing — however you by no means know, it’s an extended season, guys can have accidents, you need to keep prepared,” Ibaka stated. However then, Ibaka stated, issues turned extra “complicated” when his identify wasn’t referred to as when different gamers obtained harm, and he was as a substitute requested to play “when guys come again from accidents.” He stated it was a scarcity of communication that was the problem. -via The Athletic / August 3, 2023
