AJ Green

MILWAUKEE — Former Northern Iowa men’s basketball AJ Green has agreed to a new four-year, $45 million contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, as confirmed by ProMondo Sports and ESPN.

The Cedar Falls native and former Panther standout who has been a part of the Bucks organization since the 2022-23 season, will now be under contract with Milwaukee through 2029-30. Green was scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the coming season.

Entering his fourth year in the NBA, Green has appeared in 164 games for the Bucks, averaging 5.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game while shooting 42.7% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range. Green’s role with Milwaukee has grown over the last three years, having played a career-high 73 games last season and shooting at least 40% from 3-point range in all three years.

Green notably scored a career-high 27 points during his second NBA season in 2023-24 in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In his four seasons with the Panthers from 2018 to 2022, Green was a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and helped UNI capture two regular season conference championships.
