Bucks give Jason Kidd 3-year extension

The Milwaukee Bucks are close to reaching a three-year contract extension with Coach Jason Kidd, three people with direct knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press.

The three spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal was not final. It is expected to be announced in the next few days.

Yahoo! Sports first reported the extension talks.

Kidd is entering the last year of a three-year deal with the Bucks initially signed in 2014.

The former point guard is 74-90 in two seasons in Milwaukee, including a 41-win season and playoff appearance in 2014-15. He also coached the Brooklyn Nets for one season, guiding them to a 44-38 record and a playoff appearance in 2013-14.
