Bucks sign former Suns forward Teletovic

Published Jul. 8, 2016 3:15 p.m. ET

The Milwaukee Bucks signed forward Mirza Teletovic on Friday, adding a veteran scorer who shot .393 form 3-point range for the Phoenix Suns last season.

A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Teletovic registered career highs after averaging 12.2 points per game, as well as a .427 field goal percentage, while setting an NBA record for most 3-pointers by a reserve during the regular season with 179.

The move reunites the 30-year-old with Bucks boss Jason Kidd, who coached the Brooklyn Nets for one season during Teletovic's three-year run with the team.
