Scott Brooks is ready for another close-up. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday that the Milwaukee Bucks have secured permission to interview Brooks for their head coaching job.

Though the Washington Wizards are still looking for a new head coach, some want or still want a clear break from Tommy Sheppard, the current General Manager.

Brooks has been with the Wizards since the 2016-17 campaign, going 183-207 and 10-14 in the playoffs.
Scott Brooks helped the Washington Wizards get back to the playoffs this season, and that might be enough to keep him around for a little while longer.

The Wizards are set to face off against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. If they ultimately prevail and make it to the playoffs, that coupled with Westbrook’s support will likely make the case for keeping Brooks much stronger.
