Report: Monroe picks up option with Bucks

Greg Monroe doesn't appear to be going anywhere. The big man will exercise his player option for $17.8 million with the Milwaukee Bucks next season, league sources told ESPN's Chris Haynes.

Monroe struggled at the start of his second campaign in Milwaukee - at one point even being left out of Jason Kidd's rotation - but found a groove down the stretch, averaging 11.7 points and 6.6 rebounds off the bench.

The Georgetown product signed a three-year, $50-million contract with the Bucks in 2015 after five seasons with the Detroit Pistons.
