The Milwaukee Bucks have received permission from the Golden State Warriors to interview Kenny Atkinson for their head coaching vacancy. Atkinson was fired by the Brooklyn Nets in 2020 and accepted the head coaching position of the Charlotte Hornets last year before changing his mind to stay with the Warriors.
The Bucks also have Charles Lee and James Borrego on their list of candidates. Lee elevated to the top assistant job with the Bucks after Darvin Ham’s departure to the Lakers last summer. Lee is a candidate for the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.
Milwaukee is searching for a head coach to replace Mike Budenholzer.
