Doc Rivers finds himself in an uncomfortable situation due to the NBA’s decision, and he is determined to rectify it. Last week, the Milwaukee Bucks appointed Rivers as their head coach following the dismissal of Adrian Griffin, despite the team having a winning record. On Saturday night, the Bucks secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference, earning Rivers the opportunity to coach the NBA All-Star game.
During the Bucks’ recent postgame press conference, Rivers expressed his guilt about his nomination. He expressed his intention to speak with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about the possibility of being replaced as the coach for the game. Rivers also assured that Griffin would receive his compensation for participating in the All-Star game.
“That is incredibly unfortunate, to say the least. Well, Adrian will definitely receive some financial compensation and a ring. It’s quite a peculiar situation, and I believe there should be a provision that allows someone else to take on this responsibility instead of me. Perhaps I’ll delegate the task to my staff and take a vacation. I will certainly discuss this with Adam Silver.”
