Malcolm Brogdon of the Indiana Pacers threw some shade at the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of Sunday's game. According to Brogdon, he would've loved to remain the team but felt that they did not value him enough.

“I would’ve loved to play for this team, if they had wanted me. If they had valued me the way the Pacers value me. That’s all I gotta say.”

During the player introductions, fans warmly welcomed Brogdon's return to Milwaukee. The team even played a tribute video in the first quarter of the game.

To recall, Brogdon spent his first three years in the league donning the Bucks jersey. He even won the 2017 Rookie of the Year — becoming the first second-round pick in the NBA to win the award since 1965.

He was a key piece of the Bucks' rise from a midtier to an elite caliber team. In the Bucks' 60-win season last year, Brogdon was a key piece. His efficient style of play created wonders for the Bucks squad. He became the eighth player in NBA history to achieve a 50–40–90 season

However, in the offseason, the Pacers acquired Brogdon through a sign-and-trade deal. He inked a four-year, $85 million deal with the Pacers — which, at that time — made him and Victor Oladipo as the highest-paid player in the roster.

As expected, Bucks fans felt bad about the fallout between their team and Brogdon. But that's how things work in the NBA. Brogdon just hoped that he was valued more.
