Milwaukee Bucks are in buyout talks with Larry Sanders

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The Milwaukee Bucks are in buyout discussions with power forward and center Larry Sanders.

The 6'11" extraordinary rim protector has served a ten-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug program. But he has not returned to the team.

Because of thumb and eye injuries, as well as the suspensions, Sanders has appeared in just 50 games for Milwaukee since landing a four-year, $44 million contract extension during summer 2013.

Sanders still has three years and more than $30 million left on his deal.
