The Bucks have been officially eliminated from the playoffs after a 32-point loss to the Spurs on Saturday. While it appears the team has won the battle with Giannis Antetokounmpo about whether or not he will return to the court this season, there are still some decisions to be made. First, will Giannis sign an extension or will the team trade him? And no matter what happens there, will they fire Doc Rivers, who is now 94-97 in Milwaukee without ever getting the team out of the first round?
Rivers spoke to the press after the game and explained how he never had a healthy team in his two-plus years since he replaced Adrian Griffin after a 30-13 start to the '23-'24 season. Griffin had replaced Mike Budenholzer, who had been fired two years after coaching the team to the NBA title.
