Doc Rivers is uncertain about what the future holds for him after wrapping up his three-season tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers. Over the years, he has had a storied career as a head coach, with several championships and highly successful seasons to his name. Despite the team’s impressive 154-82 record during his run, they were unable to reach their full potential, leaving him open to criticism.
With all the different changes and former players joining the NBA sidelines, it remains unclear where Rivers will fit in. However, the 61-year-old is not too worried about it. According to TMZ Sports, he is simply looking forward to enjoying his newfound free time. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do,” he said. “I’m just gonna enjoy life.”
While the league and its fans are focused on the trade deadlines and the summer league games, ESPN is on the lookout for broadcasting talent. Rivers may very well be a frontrunner for the role. He was particularly challenged in his latest role with the 76ers, especially in managing one of his stars, James Harden.
“I would have loved to have had him younger when that was easier for him because giving up the ball and getting back the ball is hard,” he said. “It’s physical, and it’s exhausting. It would have been interesting if I would have had him younger, and he could have done that more, coming off of dribble handoffs coming down the hill.”
Unfortunately, the 76ers’ season ended with a disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. While Doc Rivers remains uncertain about his future, he is looking forward to taking some time off and enjoying life.
