The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a trade sending guard Cole Anthony and forward Amir Coffey to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for center Nick Richards and forward Nigel Hayes-Davis, according to sources via ESPN.
The deal, reported on Thursday, involves four players moving between the two franchises as they look to reshape their rotations. Cole Anthony, who has been a key contributor in the Milwaukee backcourt, joins a Phoenix Suns roster looking to bolster its guard depth and secondary scoring. Amir Coffey adds further wing versatility to the Suns' bench.
In return, the Bucks acquire Nick Richards to provide a physical presence and rim protection in the paint. Richards has been a consistent rebounder this season, addressing a frontcourt need for Milwaukee. Nigel Hayes-Davis also joins the Bucks, bringing a multi-positional defensive skill set and perimeter shooting to the Eastern Conference contender.
The trade remains pending the completion of physical examinations for all players involved. No draft compensation has been announced as part of the transaction at this time.
