Overview
- Milwaukee’s top brass, which includes owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam and GM Jon Horst, traveled to Memphis early last week to meet Taylor Jenkins, according to reports published Monday.
- The sit-down did not touch contract terms and instead centered on the team’s direction, with another meeting expected soon.
- Jenkins led the Grizzlies to a 250-214 record with four playoff trips in six seasons before his late-season dismissal in 2025.
- The 41-year-old coach is viewed as a leading candidate on this market and may gauge other opportunities, with Orlando discussed in reports and Washington signaling continuity with Brian Keefe.
- Milwaukee is resetting after Doc Rivers’ resignation and a 32-50 finish, and the coaching choice will intersect with the team’s extend-or-trade decision on Giannis, with other candidates also under consideration.
