Bucks re-sign Steve Novak
Steve Novak is staying put in Milwaukee.
The Bucks announced Monday they've re-signed the veteran sharpshooter, but didn't disclose terms of the deal.
So grateful to be a part of the team I loved growing up! Honored to get to represent this great state of WI! @Bucks pic.twitter.com/yWIkoXpQzB

The 33-year-old forward joined the Bucks in February and suited up in just three games before suffering an MCL sprain that caused him to miss the rest of the 2015-16 campaign.
The Marquette grad is best known for his long-range shooting, made famous in this rap:
He's averaged 4.7 points and 1.3 rebounds while shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 43.1 percent from deep over 10 NBA seasons.
He and Jason Terry, who recently signed with Milwaukee, will serve as mentors on the young squad.
One of the players they'll help guide is 21-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo, who sent Novak an encouraging tweet:
Let's go get them @stevenovak16 https://t.co/37lrUpsKuY
