Despite being the top seed in the Eastern Conference during the 2023 playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks faced disappointment and decided to part ways with head coach Mike Budenholzer.
Adrian Griffin took over for the beginning of the current NBA season, contributing to a solid 30-13 record before being replaced by Doc Rivers.
Expectations were high for Rivers to elevate the team’s performance, but since his arrival, the Bucks have struggled with a 3-7 record.
Doc Rivers recently spoke candidly about the challenges he has faced in the coaching role with the Bucks, admitting that it has been tougher than he initially thought after three weeks.
Before joining the Bucks, Doc Rivers had transitioned to a broadcasting career, but the opportunity to coach superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard enticed him back into coaching.
The goal is to contend for the Larry O’Brien trophy in the summer of 2024, with the Bucks currently holding the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-21 record.
However, the team entered the NBA All-Star break with a two-game losing streak, raising concerns about their performance. Damian Lillard, a key player for the Bucks, has a notable contract, earning him a spot as one of the highest-paid athletes globally.
