Doc Rivers is departing as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, sources told ESPN. The decision comes following a disappointing 32-50 season that saw the franchise struggle to find consistency and fall short of expectations in the Eastern Conference.
With the departure of Rivers, the Milwaukee Bucks will now embark on their third head coaching search in the last three years. The organization has faced significant turnover at the position recently, as they continue to search for the right leadership to maximize their championship window. Rivers was originally brought in to provide a veteran presence and post-season experience, but the team’s record during his tenure led to this coaching change.
The Bucks front office is expected to begin an immediate search for a replacement to lead the roster into next season. No internal or external candidates have been officially linked to the vacancy yet as the organization begins its formal evaluation process following the conclusion of their campaign.
