Doc Rivers will not be the Milwaukee Bucks‘ head coach next season, per ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link). Charania writes that Rivers is departing his role.
Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reiterates previous reports that the expectation around the league is that Rivers could join the Bucks’ front office in a role that has yet to be determined.
Rivers holds a 97-103 record as Bucks coach, and a 2059-1194 record for his career. He was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame. His tenure in Milwaukee, after taking over from Adrian Griffin, includes two first-round exits as stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard struggled to stay healthy over the last couple of seasons.
Charania notes (via Twitter) that the team will pay his full salary for next season. The Bucks will now undergo a coaching search, with former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins expected to be a prominent target.
