The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring Patrick Beverley from the Milwaukee Bucks for Cameron Payne and a 2027 second-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday.
Milwaukee, which has been searching hard for perimeter defensive help in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, gets a player who fortifies a defensive unit that has struggled all season, entering Thursday's action ranked 18th in defensive rating.
Payne, 29, is averaging 6.2 points per game and shooting 39.7% from 3-point range, giving Philadelphia a second strong 3-point shooter on deadline day after acquiring Buddy Hield earlier Thursday.
