The Milwaukee Bucks will own and operate an NBA Development League franchise in Oshkosh beginning for the 2017-’18 season.

A 3,500-seat arena is being built in Oshkosh and is expected to be ready in time for next season.

The Bucks also considered bids from Sheboygan and Racine.

Milwaukee joins a trend of NBA franchises owning affiliate D-League clubs. The Bucks will become the 20th NBA team to own and operate an affiliate, and the Oshkosh team will be the 25th D-League entry
