The Milwaukee Bucks have a multitude of free agents that could potentially jump ship in the coming hours/days. The two big names are Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, who according to NBA rumors, are primed to renew their respective deals with the team. However, nothing is official as of yet, which means that Milwaukee is still in danger of losing two of their most important players once NBA free agency officially opens on Friday.
While Middleton and Lopez have garnered much of the attention — and rightfully so — there are a handful of other names to watch as potential flight risks for Milwaukee. One of them is veteran swingman Joe Ingles, who has reportedly gained interest from at least one opposing Eastern Conference team.
The Orlando Magic Are In The Mix For Joe Ingles

According to league insider Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Orlando Magic could be a potential landing spot for Ingles. Orlando has a young and inexperienced core and a veteran presence like Ingles could be a noteworthy addition for them.
The Magic have a considerable amount of cap space available, and Ingles is not expected to command a lot of money. In fact, Fischer reports that the Magic could potentially bring on the 35-year-old “at a dollar figure above the minimum.”
Despite having roughly $20 million in available cap space, the Magic are not expected to be “big spenders” in NBA free agency. As such, Ingles’ salary requirements might prove to be a perfect fit for their requirements.
Has Joe Ingles Played His Last Game For The Milwaukee Bucks?

After spending the first eight years of his career with the Utah Jazz, Ingles got himself shipped out in the middle of the 2021-22 season to the Portland Trail Blazers. He wasn’t able to play a single game in Portland, though, and he ended up leaving once his contract ended that summer. Ingles picked the Bucks, signing a one-year deal with the squad worth $6.5 million.
Things did not exactly work out perfectly for Ingles during his first season in Milwaukee. He played just 46 games throughout the season, averaging 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 22.7 minutes per contest. The sharpshooting forward remained efficient from deep, though, connecting on 1.8 triples per ballgame on a 40.9-percent clip.
Unfortunately for Ingles, his time in Milwaukee may have now come to an end. Given all the other free agent decisions the Bucks have to make, it appears that the only way he can remain with the team is if he accepts a veteran’s minimum deal. However, even that might not serve as enough motivation for the Bucks as new coach Adrian Griffin looks for a fresh start and a (somewhat) clean slate on his roster.
