The Milwaukee Bucks made a major move on Tuesday.
The Bucks have fired first-year head coach Adrian Griffin. The move was made despite the Bucks beating the Pistons 122-113 on Monday night to improve to 30-13 on the season.
The Bucks are second in the East behind the Boston Celtics and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second-best record in the NBA, as of Tuesday.
The Bucks are naming Joe Prunty their interim head coach.
Griffin served as an assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors from 2018-2023. He was hired by the Bucks in June and has now been fired seven months later after a seemingly strong start.
The quick firing of Griffin reminded some of when the Cavaliers fired David Blatt in 2016 despite a 30-11 start.
