MILWAUKEE — When Adrian Griffin tried to lead his Milwaukee Bucks to a second straight victory to start the season, he knew he would have an eye on one opposing player in particular. Griffin's son, AJ, is a second-year guard on the Atlanta Hawks who is averaging 4.0 points through the team's first two games. The elder Griffin is facing his 20-year-old son for the first time as a head coach Sunday night. The younger Griffin was the No. 16 pick out of Duke by Atlanta in the 2022 draft.
