Fired by the Sixers, Doc Rivers has not rebounded since. Now that all positions are taken in the NBA, it will be necessary to wait before seeing the former Clippers coach on a bench. It is rather on television that he could now occupy his time.
Indeed, if we are to believe the information of the Boston Globe and our colleague Chad Finnand even if nothing is imminent for the moment, there would be “good luck” to see Doc Rivers land on ESPN next season.
He would be accompanied by Doris Burke and the former coach and the journalist would then come to comment on the matches in the company of Mike Breen, orphan of Jeff Van Gundy, dismissed very recently for economic reasons.
An experience on television which would not be a first for Doc Rivers since we remember that he had already officiated on ABC during the 2004 Finals between the Pistons and the Lakers, after being fired from the Magic following his bad start to season in the fall of 2003 (one win and ten losses). He will engage with Boston in stride.
