Free agent forward Ousmane Dieng has agreed to a three-year, $17.5 million deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks, according to sources who spoke with ESPN. The agreement ensures the versatile forward remains in Milwaukee after a productive tenure with the team last season.

Following the mid-season move, he showcased a strong finish to the year, solidifying his place in the rotation. The contract was finalized by Bucks officials and Dieng's agents, Michael Tellem of Excel Sports Management.
By securing Dieng on a multi-year deal, the Bucks retain a key young piece of their frontcourt depth. Dieng's length and defensive potential were significant factors in the team's decision to bring him back as they look to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
