New Bucks coach Adrian Griffin anticipates having 'great partnership' with Antetokounmpo

SAUKVILLE, Wis. — New Milwaukee coach Adrian Griffin says he is looking forward to forming a great partnership with Giannis Antetokounmpo, although the two-time league MVP plans to hold off on signing a contract extension with the team.

Antetokounmpo told The New York Times last month that he wanted to see how committed the Bucks are toward winning another championship before deciding whether to sign a long-term deal to stay in Milwaukee. The two-time MVP also noted the Bucks' recent coaching change and said he wanted to ''see the dynamics'' of how everything works with the new staff before making a decision.
