The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Milwaukee Bucks will soon sign a contract with Luke Vildos, a 26-year-old Argentine who was previously a member of Arthur Kuruc’s Spanish club Baskonia in Vitoria, according to ESPN reporter Adrian Vodzhnarovsky. He writes that the agreement will be concluded until the next one, ie in 2022/23. At the end of the season, but after the foot injury was healed, he will be available at the Bucks in the playoffs.
HoopsHype has named Wilderos the highest paid NBA player of all time in the strongest league on the planet. In May last year, Wilda signed a three-year deal with the New York Knicks for less than $ 10 million, but he was fired in October due to injury. As a result, Wilda did not win a single match in the NBA, but that did not stop him from collecting almost $ 10 million.

Wilda previously signed a contract with the Knicks despite having a contract with Baskonia until 2024. The Wilds Knicks played two matches in the Summer League, in which they scored no points, with an average of 1.0 balls under the baskets and 1.5 assists. The Argentine could not show his best performance because he suffered an ankle injury. This may have been the reason why he did not have a place in the Knicks.
A representative of Wilda’s “Baskonia” since 2017, with this unit he became the champion of Spain in 2020 and was recognized as the most valuable player in the final series. In turn, he won silver in the 2019 World Cup with the Argentine national team.
