Bucks Hire Doc Rivers As New Head Coach

Shams Charania of The Athletic has broken the news of the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Doc Rivers around 24 hours after firing Adrian Griffin.

Rivers served as an informal consultant on Milwaukee’s team to help Griffin; about a month later, Griffin got fired for Rivers.

The Philadelphia 76ers parted ways with Rivers after the 2023 playoffs. It was only three months of the season he was out of a coaching job.

Reportedly, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted him gone—mainly Giannis due to losing faith in Griffin. Lillard did not understand the offense he was trying to implement.
