MILWAUKEE (AP) â The Milwaukee Bucks are finalizing a deal with Taylor Jenkins to fill their head-coaching position that became vacant after Doc Riversâ departure, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because no hire had been announced. ESPN first reported that the Bucks were finalizing a deal with Jenkins. Jenkins coached the Memphis Grizzlies from 2019-25 and posted a 250-214 record that included three straight playoff appearances from 2021-23. The playoff-bound Grizzlies fired him with nine games left in the 2024-25 season and went on to get swept by eventual champion Oklahoma City in the first round of that yearâs playoffs. This would represent a return to Milwaukee for Jenkins, who was an assistant coach on Mike Budenholzerâs staff during the 2018-19 season. The Bucks posted an NBA-best 60-22 record that season before blowing a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals to the eventual champion Toronto Raptors. Jenkins would be taking over a Bucks team that is entering a critical summer after going 32-50 this season, ending a streak of nine straight playoff appearances. Milwaukeeâs main offseason concern regards the future of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has spent his entire 13-season NBA career with the Bucks. Antetokounmpo, 31, is eligible to become a free agent after next season if he doesnât sign a four-year, $275 million contract extension in October. Or the Bucks could trade him beforehand if they donât believe he will sign that extension. Antetokounmpo was asked after the Bucksâ season finale whether heâd sign an extension. âItâs something I have to sit down with my family and see whatâs best for me, whatâs best for my family,â he replied. The Bucks announced Riversâ departure as coach on April 13, the day after their season ended. Rivers went 97-103 in 2 1/2 seasons with the Bucks. He owns a 1,194-866 overall record and ranks sixth in NBA career coaching wins. \\_ AP Pro Basketball Writer Tim Reynolds contributed to this report. \\_ AP NBA:
