The Milwaukee Bucks are finalizing a deal to make Taylor Jenkins the franchise's new head coach, according to Shams Charania and Ramona Shelburne. The move marks a return to Milwaukee for Jenkins, who previously served as an assistant coach for the organization during the 2018-19 season.
Jenkins joins the Bucks following a successful six-season tenure as the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. During his time in Memphis, Jenkins compiled a regular-season record of 250-214 and led the team to three postseason appearances, helping establish the Grizzlies as a rising power in the Western Conference.
The agreement brings a seasoned leader to the Bucks sideline as the team looks to maximize its championship window. Jenkins is widely respected for his developmental track record and tactical approach, traits he demonstrated throughout his time with both the Grizzlies and his previous stint on the Milwaukee staff.
