The Milwaukee Bucks could be getting closer to naming a new head coach, if one report is any indication.
According to Zach Lowe of ESPN, Mike Budenholzer, who has been linked to the Bucks job, met with forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mike Budenholzer had breakfast today in Milwaukee, league sources say.

Khris Middleton was also there, I'm told. https://t.co/yf1U3EEoDI

Obviously, little is known about the nature of the meeting or how it went. Budenholzer is a free agent coach who is surely assessing his options, and meeting with the cornerstone of one of the interested franchises makes plenty of logical sense.
The Bucks do reportedly have competition from a playoff team for Budenholzer’s services, but Antetokounmpo would be a huge draw for any potential coach.
