Late last month, the Milwaukee Bucks made the surprising decision to fire coach Adrian Griffin despite the team’s 30-13 start to the 2023-24 season. Milwaukee dropped to 1-5 under Rivers with Thursday night’s 129-105 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The lopsided defeat allowed some of the Bucks’ bench players to see action in the fourth quarter, including reserve forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo. As the elder Antetokounmpo stood next to the scorer’s table waiting to check into Thursday’s game, Timberwolves announcer Jim Petersen declared the Bucks were essentially forfeiting any comeback attempt. Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo warms up before a game against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, Feb. 3, 2024.
