The Milwaukee Bucks have stayed in-house to fill their general manager vacancy.
The team named director of basketball operations Jon Horst as its next GM on Friday. He will replace John Hammond, who left last month to take the Orlando Magic job.
"I'm extremely grateful to our ownership group for their faith and trust in me," Horst said in a news release. "Wes, Marc and Jamie have demonstrated a commitment to building a championship-caliber team, providing the necessary tools and resources, and I'm excited to execute their vision. In my new capacity, I'm looking forward to working with Jason Kidd and the coaching staff, along with our world-class performance team, to give our talented players the support they need to bring a championship to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin.
