Doc Rivers Out as Milwaukee Bucks Coach; What it Means for Potential 76ers Candidates
National Desk
April 13, 2026
Why it matters locally: While the departure of Doc Rivers from the Milwaukee Bucks doesn't directly affect Pennsylvania in a major way, it does indirectly ripple through the local sports landscape, particularly for Philadelphia 76ers fans. Rivers previously coached the 76ers, and his availability could reignite discussions about potential changes in coaching strategies across the league. Speculation may surface regarding candidate pools and coaching carousel dynamics, potentially impacting coaching decisions within the 76ers organization down the line, particularly if the Sixers underperform this season, regardless of their own current coaching situation.
Doc Rivers is expected to leave his role as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Sources indicate that while Rivers is departing the head coaching position, discussions are underway between Rivers and the Bucks organization regarding a potential advisory role. The extent and nature of the advisory role are currently being negotiated. Rivers took over as head coach of the Bucks three seasons ago.
