3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks, shooting 47% from the field and 83% from the line. Milwaukee Bucks (1986-1991) After missing the playoffs for two years, Sikma requested a trade from Seattle. In 1986, Sikma and Seattle's 1988 second-round draft pick were traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Alton Lister and Milwaukee's first-round draft picks in 1987 and 1989. Later in response, Sports Illustrated would report: Milwaukee Coach Don Nelson felt Sikma was the missing piece of a team that had frequently dominated the regular season before being exposed at the center position in the playoffs. Milwaukee struggled with injuries leading to the playoffs. In the initial playoff series, Sikma scored 11 points in the fourth quarter to get past Charles Barkley and the Philadelphia 76ers. In the next series, the Bucks were defeated by the Boston Celtics in a seven-game series, during which Sikma averaged 17.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. In the series, Sikma was one of eight players fined for fighting or leaving the bench to join the brawl. During the following pre-season, Sikma and the Bucks participated in the diplomatically oriented Basketball Open, a round-robin, exhibition tournament, which included a match with the U.S.S.R. national team and the Italian national team (a country where Sikma was particularly popular).

Despite being the team's center, Sikma was one of the most effective free-throw shooters in the league and he would shoot technical free throws for the team, Sikma set a then-record of 51 games without a free throw miss. His late-career three point shooting was cited as a sign of league-wide adoption. In 1989, he would face his former team in what was then the longest game in the shot clock era at four hours and 17 minutes, scoring 23 points and grabbing 8 rebounds, while winning by a score of 155-154 in the fifth overtime. Into his final season, Sikma remained an effective big man, playing 77 regular season games and three playoff games, including twice grabbing 14 rebounds in a game. In five seasons and 392 games with Milwaukee,
