The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to a multiyear contract extension with general manager Jon Horst, ESPN reported Thursday.

The deal came together late Wednesday night between ownership and Horst's agent, Brian Elfus, per the report.

Horst, 42, has been the Milwaukee GM since June 2017, winning NBA Executive of the Year honors in 2019 and leading the Bucks to their first championship in 50 years in 2021.

Milwaukee has been to the playoffs in all eight seasons under Horst, who previously was the manager of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons (2007-08) and director of basketball operations for the Bucks (2008-17).

This season, the Bucks (48-34) earned the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They trail 2-0 in their best-of-seven first-round series with the Indiana Pacers, with Game 3 on Friday night in Milwaukee.
