Adrian Griffin out in Toronto, will coach Bucks. Quick hit includes past praise from Nurse, Bjorkgren, to get a sense of what Mil. is getting. “Just his overall feel and approach and knowing how to talk to the players is probably his number one strength”: torontosun.com/sports/basketb… – 3:48 PM

Chris Haynes: Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo vouched for Adrian Griffin to become the franchise’s next head coach, sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / May 27, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Bucks are beginning work on financial terms of a contract with Griffin and a deal is expected to be reached soon that’ll make Griffin the franchise’s next head coach, sources said. -via Twitter @wojespn / May 27, 2023
The Bucks appear to be the closest of the five teams with current coaching openings to filling the position. Nurse, Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson and Adrian Griffin, an assistant on Nurse’s staff in Toronto, are the three reported finalists to replace the ousted Mike Budenholzer. As I reported here Monday, dialogue with Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be a feature of this stage … with Giannis said to be intrigued by the Griffin option. -via marcstein.substack.com / May 24, 2023
