Bucks fire head coach Jason Kidd

The Milwaukee Bucks have fired head coach Jason Kidd, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Assistant Joe Prunty will coach the team Monday night against the Phoenix Suns and will be named interim coach, sources tell Wojnarowski.

Despite a talented roster that features All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo and recent trade acquisition Eric Bledsoe, the Bucks are 23-22 and currently are the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Milwaukee has lost four of its last five games entering Monday's home game against Phoenix.
