The Milwaukee Bucks will hire Jon Horst as general manager

The Bucks had narrowed their list down to Justin Zanik and Arturas Karnisovas. Karnisovas was given a promotion to stay with the Denver Nuggets.

Zanik had the support of Marc Lasry and Jason Kidd but he was unable to receive a full consensus.

Horst will replace John Hammond as general manager. Horst followed Hammond from the Detroit Pistons to the Bucks in 2008.
