Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd was not at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Monday night for his team's game against Washington Wizards. He and his wife, Porschla, welcomed their third child, Cooper Anne, on Sunday. Both mother and daughter are doing well, according to an announcement from the team.

Bucks assistant coach Joe Prunty took over as interim coach against the Wizards, a role he has played before. During the 2015-'16 season, Prunty acted as interim coach for 17 games while Kidd underwent hip surgery, guiding the team to an 8-9 record.

"Everything is really the same as far as how we approach it as a team," Prunty said before the game, noting the coaching staff planned for this situation. "Obviously, I have a little bit of a different role, but nothing has changed in terms of Sean Sweeney will still do the defense and I'll still do the offense."

The newest addition to the Kidd family is the Milwaukee coach's sixth child. It is not yet clear when Kidd will rejoin the Bucks, who begin a four-game road trip with a game at 8 p.m. Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns.
