Signing with Milwaukee Vildoza (foot) is expected to finalize a two-year contract with the Bucks in the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Impact Vildoza, the 2020 Spanish ACB League Finals MVP, signed a four-year deal with the Knicks last May and was expected to make his NBA debut this fall, but he suffered a foot injury during Las Vegas Summer League play and later underwent surgery. The Knicks ultimately waived him in October, but after months of recovery, Vildoza has been given a clean bill of health. Once the deal is finalized, Vildoza will likely require some ramp-up time, so he presumably won't be ready to play for the Bucks until the postseason. The 2022-23 campaign will thus count as his rookie season, assuming he remains on the Milwaukee roster.
