Former Sixers coach Doc Rivers named a finalist for Suns’ open job
- Advertisement -
After three seasons, the Philadelphia 76ers decided it was time to move on from coach Doc Rivers. The team fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals in all three seasons under his guidance and the team felt it was time for a change.
The Sixers held a 3-2 lead in the semifinals over the Boston Celtics and they saw a lead slip away in Game 6 at home. They only scored 13 points in the fourth quarter in the Game 6 loss and they then looked listless in Game 7.
Rivers paid the price, but it looks like he is landing his feet nicely. The future Hall of Fame coach won 154 games across three seasons in Philadelphia and he is now listed as a finalist for the opening for the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns feature some legitimate star power in Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Chris Paul. Rivers has a history with Paul during their days with the Los Angeles Clippers so it will be interesting to see if he can get an opportunity in the desert.
