Prematurely eliminated from the playoffs this season, Milwaukee must prepare for a pivotal summer. However, it starts quite badly since a shameful controversy has hit the franchise following its last decision. As if the 2021 champion really needed it…
Lately, the Bucks have been through some turbulent times. Obviously, the rout in the first round of the playoffs has a lot to do with it since it actually had a domino effect. At first, Giannis Antetokounmpo was more than annoyed and multiplied media interventions who spoke. In addition, the Bucks must now focus on certain files to manage during the summer.
Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez have indeed been linked to departure rumors, the pivot being a free agent. But the biggest feat of recent weeks is obviously the ousting of Mike Budenholzer. Punished for his mismanagement during the series against Miami, the coach should quickly be replaced by Adrian Griffin, former assistant of the Raptors. However, a big scandal concerning this new trainer has just resurfaced…
New Bucks coach facing big charges
In high-level sport and particularly in the NBA, conflicts with ex-wives are very common. The current Portland coach Chauncey Billups was accused of rape in 1997 but in the case of Adrian Griffin, it is potential violence that we are talking about. For two years now, her former partner claims to have been physically abused. Sam Quinn, reporter for CBS Sportsreports his words:
In a 2020 social media post, Audrey Griffin accused Adrian of choking her, throwing her into a wall and dragging her across the lawn while pregnant among other things.
Griffin has denied the accusations and has not been charged with anything.

In a 2020 social media post, Audrey Griffin accused Adrian of choking her and throwing her against the wall while she was pregnant. She also says he dragged her on the lawn. Griffin denied the charges and was not prosecuted.
If nothing has been proven, Adrian Griffin could arrive at the Bucks with pans that could resurface and create very annoying situations for the franchise. At the time of these accusations, few people had wanted to take a stand as there was so much uncertainty about their veracity. One thing is certain, the leaders of Milwaukee did not really need such a case to intervene:
How can someone do ALL of this and get away with it… @SmithRaps @Tadj315 @CBCNews @SteveClarkeMLB @vivekmjacob @Gleasonavenue @ShamsCharania @MaheshNYCTO @AaronBenRose @michaelgrange @kiranhothi @spencesmi @JLew1050 @KCJHoop @SmithRaps @Bulls_Jay @nba @Raptors #AdrianGriffin pic.twitter.com/qZ1ID82tHs

While they had set their sights on Adrian Griffin, Milwaukee may well regret his choice if this case of potential domestic violence breaks out again. Nothing proved however for Griffin, who does not seem to have any legal action against him. For now…
