Plumlee received more playing time in the second half, giving the team an athletic spark off the bench. He has played in 80 games for and has started in 14 contests for the Bucks, averaging 4.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 13.2 minutes per contest.
Miles Plumlee is returning to the Milwaukee Bucks, and in general that shouldn’t come as a surprise.
While that experiment didn’t last until the end of the season, Plumlee’s fit, whether in the starting lineup or off the bench, gave the Bucks’ coaching staff and front office a look at what they had been missing from the center position previous year. I love the game, I love the team here, I think we’re building something really special and I really hope to continue to be a part of that.
Plumlee has spent the past year and a half with the Bucks after being traded to Milwaukee at the 2015 National Basketball Association trade deadline.

The Bucks acquired Plumlee on February 19, 2015, as part of a three-team trade with Philadelphia and Phoenix. He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 26th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, but was traded to Phoenix a year later.
