Hammon, currently an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs, will interview for the Milwaukee Bucks' head coaching gig, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wojnarowski added that the Bucks are also interviewing Spurs assistants James Borrego and Ettore Messina and Spurs' vice president of basketball operations Monty Williams.

While Hammon isn't on the short list of head coach candidates, "Milwaukee ownership and general manager Jon Horst were intrigued enough to ask the Spurs for permission to speak with her," Wojnarowski wrote.

Hammon has served as an assistant coach for the Spurs since 2014, when she retired from the San Antonio Stars, San Antonio's WNBA team.
