The prodigal son has returned. Or perhaps more accurately: he never left.
On Monday, the Bucks officially re-signed veteran sharpshooter and Brown Deer native Steve Novak, a move that shocked...well, no one. While his original homecoming in late February was cut short by an MCL injury to his knee after just three games, Novak spent the summer rehabbing in Milwaukee and it always seemed like just a matter of time before he was officially back in the fold. Still, Charles Gardner of the Journal-Sentinel reports that Novak isn’t taking anything for granted following his injury last spring.
