The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly hiring Toronto Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin to replace Mike Budenholzer as the team's next head coach.
Budenholzer, 53, was fired a week after the Bucks exited in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Miami Heat in only five games. That was despite coaching the franchise to a championship in 2021 and finishing this season with the best record in the regular season.
In the weeks since, fellow NBA champion head coach Nick Nurse, who won a title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors, was linked with the vacancy after losing his job as the regular season ended. Instead, it now seems his former assistant will be filling the role.
