Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Larry Harris announced today that the team has assigned rookie forward Damir Markota to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League. Tulsa is led by Head Coach Joey Meyer and has served as the Bucks
D-League affiliate since the 2005-06 season.
?Damir is a young player who will get the opportunity to play and further develop his skills in Tulsa,? said Harris.
?Last year, Ersan Ilyasova made significant progress in Tulsa and we think Damir will benefit as well. Being assigned to the Development League will give Damir invaluable time on the court under game conditions that he wouldn?t necessarily receive in Milwaukee.?
