The Milwaukee Bucks traded veteran forward Robin Lopez to the Sacramento Kings prior to Thursday's trade deadline, according to multiple reports.

Lopez, 35, was acquired for cash considerations. It is expected that Sacramento will waive the 7-foot-1 Lopez, which would allow him to become a free agent.

Lopez played sparingly for the Bucks this season, averaging 1.1 points and 4.1 minutes in 16 games (two starts).

Lopez has played for nine teams over 15 NBA seasons. He has career averages of 8.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 992 games (607 starts) for the Phoenix Suns, then-New Orleans Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers and Bucks.
