MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jenkins compiled a 250-214 record as the head coach of the Grizzlies and is the franchise’s all-time winningest coach. He led Memphis to three postseason appearances in his six seasons. Jenkins was fired by the Grizzlies with just nine games remaining in the 2024-25 regular season.

This is Jenkins’ second stint with the Bucks after he served as an assistant under former Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer for the 2018-2019 season.
