The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as former Bucks head coach Jason Kidd gives his side of the story after being fired by the team over two months ago.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we hear from former Bucks head coach Jason Kidd as he speaks publicly on his firing for the first time, review the Bucks’ season so far and how the team’s scope has stagnated despite Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s transcendent campaign and much more.

Having stayed out of the public eye since being fired by the Bucks in mid-to-late January, it’s not a secret Kidd’s standing within the organization had soured over time, based on his inability to live up to expectations and falling out of favor within the locker room as well as with the team’s management and ownership group before officially getting the axe.

While his coaching career has been put on hold for the moment, Kidd’s angling to get back in the game and very well could be a name that gets bandied about over the offseason in the coaching vacancies that have and will open up in the coming weeks.
