This week, the Cleveland Cavaliers will wrap up a four-game road trip with two games against their Central Division rival Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the Cavaliers will be facing a different coach on the opposing bench.

On Tuesday, Milwaukee announced that it has dismissed head coach Adrian Griffin.

Assistant Joe Prunty will become the team’s interim head coach. According to ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Bucks are planning on pursuing a few veteran head coaches, including 2008 NBA Champion Head Coach Doc Rivers.

The upcoming games between Cleveland and Milwaukee will have significant implications, as they are currently the fourth and second seeds in the Eastern Conference, respectively.

The Wine and Gold split the first two games of the season between the two teams, falling 119-111 on December 29, and winning 135-95 this past Wednesday.

This situation is similar to a pair that have recently occurred in Cleveland.

The first situation happened during the 2015-16 season. Despite the Cavaliers holding the Eastern Conference’s best record at 30-11 and leading them to the NBA Finals the previous season, head coach David Blatt was fired in just his second season with the team. This was announced on January 22, 2016, just over eight years ago today.
