Denver ? The Denver Nuggets traded fan favorite Earl Boykins, along with Julius Hodge and cash, to the Milwaukee Bucks for Steve Blake on Thursday.

Blake averaged 3.6 points and 2.5 assists in 33 games for the Bucks this season.

Boykins played a little over three years for Denver and was averaging 15.2 points this season.

Hodge recently returned to the lineup after being shot five times last April when a gunman pulled up alongside him, spraying his vehicle with bullets. He’s played in four games this season.
