The Memphis Grizzlies have interviewed Milwaukee Bucks assistant Taylor Jenkins for their head coaching vacancy, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Jenkins has worked alongside Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer both in Milwaukee and with the Atlanta Hawks. He also coached the San Antonio Spurs' G-league affiliate.

The Grizzlies have reportedly also interviewed Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin and former Phoenix Suns head coach Igor Kokoskov.

Memphis fired J.B. Bickerstaff in April, less than a year after naming him permanent head coach in May 2018. He had served as the team's interim head coach following David Fizdale's dismissal in November 2017.
