Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has purchased a stake in the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced on Friday between the first and second quarter of the Bucks’ Game 3 playoff game against the Boston Celtics.
Rodgers, along with his girlfriend Danica Patrick, sat courtside next to majority owner Wes Edens.
The Bucks said Rodgers joined the team as a limited partner.
Edens, Marc Lasry and Jamie Dinan are majority owners, and the team was purchased from Herb Kohl in 2014 for $550 million. In Forbes' latest team valuations released this season, the franchise was valued at $1.075 billion.
The Bucks built a new practice facility that opened at the start of this season, and a new downtown arena is under construction and will be open by the start of the 2018-19 season.
Milwaukee finished as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference this season and is led by 23-yeard-old All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Packers legend has been a frequent attendant at Bucks games. He was taking in Game 3 of the Bucks-Celtics series after Boston won the first two games at home.
Rodgers, a two-time NFL MVP, missed nine games for the Packers last season after he broke a collarbone in his left shoulder in a Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
