The Milwaukee Bucks continue to have discussions with Doc Rivers to take over as the next head coach of the franchise, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. 

"The Bucks reached out to Doc Rivers ... late this afternoon, early this evening, and they've been talking about this job. He is certainly at the forefront of the Bucks' search," said Wojnarowski on Tuesday night.

"He is the focus of this Bucks' search and they continue to talk tonight about the possibility of him becoming the next head coach," added Wojnarowski.

The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin earlier on Tuesday. 

Joe Prunty was promoted as the interim head coach.
