Doc Rivers appears to have coached his last game for the Milwaukee Bucks
After a season-ending loss, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers seemed to be saying goodbye.
PHILADELPHIA − Doc Rivers had been in a reflective mood over the past few weeks of the 2025-26 season, and he took that reflection a step further April 12 following the Milwaukee Bucks ’ season-ending loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with an apparent goodbye news conference. Standing in a hallway just off the Bucks locker room in Xfinity Mobile Arena − a building he coached the Philadelphia 76ers in for three seasons − Rivers spoke for nearly seven minutes about coaching in the past tense, though he did not wish to formally announce his plans for the 2026-27 season. “No.
No,” he began. “I can tell you we're all on the same page. We've talked about it, and we want it out pretty quick.
I just want them to do it, it's better. But I think you guys pretty much know. " When asked what it was like to potentially have coached his last game in such a familiar place, Rivers said, “It was interesting.
Knowing what I know. It was a tough one, it really was. Really proud of Darvin [Ham] because he’s been great.
