Milwaukee Bucks hiring Doc Rivers: Report FOX Sports Radio

Former NBA Champion Doc Rivers has been fired by the Sixers after a 24-year coaching career. Now he's joining the Bucks.

Doc Rivers, who won an NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics in the 2007-08 season, has an impressive coaching record of 1,097-763 (.590 winning percentage) over his 24-year career. He has coached for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, and most recently, the Philadelphia 76ers, before being fired by the Sixers after the team was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the third consecutive year.

On the other hand, Griffin has been a head coach for 43 games in the NBA. His previous experience includes working as an assistant for the Bucks, Chicago Bulls, Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Toronto Raptors before being hired last June.

Currently, the Milwaukee Bucks hold the second spot in the Eastern Conference with a 30-13 record. They have won two consecutive games and six of their last 10. The Bucks were expected to contend for an NBA championship after acquiring All-Star point guard Damian Lillard in a blockbuster trade and signing two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to a massive extension just prior to the beginning of the 2023-24 regular season.

Milwaukee's former head coach, Mike Budenholzer, was fired in May after the team was upset by the eighth-seed Miami Heat in five games during the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs one month prior.
