win over the Sacramento Kings. It was only Brooklyn's 10th win of the season, as Lopez surpassed 10,000 points with the Nets. He became the second player in Nets history to score 10,000 points—his 10,014 points seeing him sit behind only Buck Williams (10,440) on the franchise list. On March 26 against Atlanta, Lopez became the Nets' career leader in field goals, passing Buck Williams. Lopez got the seven field goals he needed to pass Williams' team record of 3,981. With 25 points against the Boston Celtics on April 10, Lopez passed Williams to become the franchise's career leading scorer. Los Angeles Lakers (2017–2018) On June 22, 2017, Lopez was traded, along with the rights to Kyle Kuzma (the 27th pick in the 2017 NBA draft), to his hometown team the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov. In his debut for the Lakers in their season opener on October 19, 2017, Lopez scored 20 points in a 108–92 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. On November 3, 2017, he hit six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 34 points in a 124–112 win over his former team, the Brooklyn Nets. He missed eight games between December 20 and January 1 with a right ankle injury. Milwaukee Bucks (2018–present) First years in Milwaukee and All-Defensive honors (2018–2020) On July 17, 2018, Lopez signed with the Milwaukee Bucks. In his debut for the Bucks in their season opener on October 17, 2018, Lopez scored 14 points in a 113–112 win over the Charlotte Hornets. On November 11, he had a career-high eight 3-pointers and 28 points in a 121–114 win over the Denver Nuggets. After not making a single 3-point shot in his first six NBA seasons, Lopez became a reliable threat from deep, including making at least six 3-pointers in three out of four games for the Bucks between November 6–11. He gained the nickname "Splash Mountain", a nod to the Splash Brothers, the prolific 3-point-shooting guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors and the Disney Parks ride of the same name. Lopez also improved his free-throw shooting after joining the Bucks, quickly becoming one of the Bucks' most reliable free-throw shooters. Lopez shot 84% on free-throws since joining the Bucks, compared to averaging 79% prior in his career. On January 1, Lopez had 25 points and made 7 of 12 from 3-point
