Doc Rivers has taken the reins of the Milwaukee Bucks as their third head coach since their 2021 championship, succeeding Adrian Griffin after a brief interim period by Joe Prunty. Despite Rivers' championship pedigree, the Bucks have struggled to advance past the first round of the playoffs in recent years. General Manager Jon Horst remains confident in Rivers, praising his collaborative approach and leadership skills, stating the team has what it takes to win under his guidance. Rivers has signed a four-year, $40 million deal, committing to the franchise until the 2026-27 season.
