Glenn 'Doc' Rivers has officially stepped down as the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, as announced on April 13. Under his leadership, the Bucks finished the season with a disappointing 32-50 record, marking their first playoff miss since the 2015-16 season. The Bucks' owners expressed gratitude for Rivers' professionalism and leadership during his tenure. Rivers, who had one year remaining on his contract worth $11 million, took over mid-season after the firing of Adrian Griffin. Despite starting strong, the team struggled, finishing 17-19 under Rivers and being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers. Key players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, faced injuries that hampered the team's performance. Rivers leaves Milwaukee with a regular-season record of 97-103 and a playoff record of 3-8, the only time in his 27-year coaching career he has finished below .500. He was recently inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, highlighting his successful coaching career.
