Doc Rivers Out as Bucks Coach Amidst Struggling Season

Doc Rivers is no longer the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, as confirmed by team sources. His departure comes after the team concluded a challenging season with a losing record, finishing six games under .500.

Rivers had joined the Bucks midway through the 2023-24 season and had another year remaining on his contract. The team's performance was heavily impacted by injuries, particularly to star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was sidelined for 46 of the team's 82 games.

Milwaukee finished the season ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. This placement left them outside the playoff picture, eleven games behind the Miami Heat for the final play-in tournament spot. Rivers has suggested that discussions about his future role within the organization are nearing a conclusion.
