Bucks general manager John Hammond confirmed Tuesday that forward Carlos Delfino will be returning for a third season with the team.
The Bucks have a $3.5 million team option on Delfino for the 2011-’12 season. The Argentine forward averaged 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 49 games with the Bucks last season and made 40 starts.
Delfino suffered a concussion in the first week of the season and eventually missed 32 games due to symptoms from a series of hits to the head.
He was able to return to the lineup in late January and had back-to-back 30-point games in March against New York and Sacramento. That established a career high for points.
