Thunderclap at Milwaukeewhere we learn by ESPN And The Athletic the dismissal ofAdrian Griffin !
THE Bucks nevertheless rank in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 30 victories and 13 defeats, but the limits of their game – particularly in defense – have visibly convinced their leaders to make a rapid change, to better strengthen their chances of title.
We remember that Adrian Griffin was recruited last spring, in the wake of the playoffs, to succeed Mike Budenholzer. Since then, his mandate at the head of the 2021 champions has been marked by the hasty departure of his first assistant Terry Stotts, then moments of tension with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Super star local.
Doc Rivers to the rescue?
Until a new coach is appointed, it is the usual firefighter on duty Joe Prunty who should deputize on the Bucks bench.
But to replace Adrian Griffin, The Athletic adds that Wisconsin leaders are already considering call Doc Rivers to the rescue, free since his departure from the Sixers. According to ESPN, however, it will not be not the only one to encounter the franchise in the coming days.
