Free agent center Robin Lopez has agreed to sign for the Milwaukee Bucks, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Terms of the deal were not specified.

The younger Lopez twin played for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, and he previously played for the Bucks with his brother Brook during the 2019-20 NBA season.

This will be Lopez's tenth stint for nine teams in his career. He started his NBA journey after being drafted 15th overall by the Phoenix Suns in 2008.

The 7-foot center then bounced to several teams in the league - the New Orleans Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, and Chicago Bulls; his first stint was with the Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, and most recently, the Cavaliers.

Brook Lopez Stays in Milwaukee

Meanwhile, the older Lopez twin, Brook, is set to stay with the Bucks after agreeing to a two-year, $48 million contract, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. He has played for the Bucks since 2018.

The Houston Rockets were reportedly interested in the center and prepared to offer a massive deal to land Lopez.

The 35-year-old is currently undergoing a career renaissance, getting selected to his first NBA All-Defensive First Team 15 years after his first NBA game. He was named an All-Star in 2013.

Brook is the all-time leading scorer of the Brooklyn Nets franchise, having spent the first nine seasons of his career with the team. He helped the Bucks win the NBA championship in 2021.
