NBA Rumors: Bucks' HC Mike Budenholzer Safe After Early Playoff Exit

Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer will return to the team next year, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The two-time NBA Coach of the Year led Milwaukee to the league's best record this season at 56-17. However, the Bucks were inconsistent throughout their stint in the NBA's bubble and the Heat recently eliminated the East's top seed in the Eastern Conference semifinals by a 4-1 margin.

Following the club's loss, 2018-19 league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked about his future with the franchise.

“It’s not happening. That’s not happening," the 2018-19 league MVP told Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes when asked if he would request a trade in the event that he couldn't reach a contract extension with the Bucks.
