Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Doc Rivers was fired by the Philadelphia 76ers after the team’s playoff exit. The move was publicly confirmed in May 2023, following a third consecutive second-round exit. The team cited the need for changes to compete for a championship.[1][2][3]
-
In early 2024, Rivers emerged as a candidate for the Milwaukee Bucks job and eventually became their head coach, with reports confirming a deal in January 2024. He led Milwaukee for the 2024-25 season, following the firing of Adrian Griffin.[4][5][9]
-
If you’re asking about any events after early 2024, I don’t have up-to-the-minute confirmation in this thread. The most recent widely reported developments show Rivers’ move from Philadelphia to Milwaukee in 2024 and his tenure there through the 2024-25 season, with ongoing coaching-market activity since then.[9][4]
