76ers fire head coach Doc Rivers after latest Game 7 setback
The Philadelphia 76ers fired head coach Doc Rivers Tuesday after the team lost in seven games to the Boston Celtics in the second round, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
www.sportsnet.caHere’s the latest I can share: Doc Rivers was fired by the Philadelphia 76ers after the 2022-23 season, with official confirmation coming amid a third straight second-round playoff exit. The move was publicly announced by the team, and ESPN’s reporting at the time identified Rivers as the coach who would not return after three seasons in Philadelphia. For a concise snapshot, think of it as a high-profile coaching change driven by postseason results rather than regular-season performance alone.[1][2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull more recent developments or explore who the Sixers considered as potential replacements, and I can summarize how this firing fit into broader NBA coaching moves from that period.
