2023–24 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 2023–24 Milwaukee Bucks season is the 56th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On May 4, 2023, the Bucks fired head coach Mike Budenholzer after five seasons with the team, including winning the 2021 NBA Finals as head coach, after a disappointing first round exit last season to the eight–seeded and eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat.[1] On June 5, 2023, the Bucks hired Adrian Griffin as their head coach.[2] On September 27, 2023, 7-time NBA All-Star point guard Damian Lillard was traded to the Bucks as part of a three-team trade that sent Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, and a 2029 first-round draft pick to the Portland Trail Blazers, and Grayson Allen, Jusuf Nurkić, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson to the Phoenix Suns.
