MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin: The Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday dealt forward Richard Jefferson to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for guard Bruce Bowen, and forwards Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto.

"We are thrilled to add Richard Jefferson to the Spurs roster. He is a talented, athletic player - in the prime of his career - who can influence the game on both ends of the court. We think he is a great fit for our team," said RC Buford, spokesman for the Spurs.
