Doc Rivers may be new to the Milwaukee Bucks, but he has wasted no time making an impact. Just a week into his coaching tenure, Rivers has already secured a spot as the head coach for the Eastern Conference All-Star team. The NBA announced that the Bucks, with their impressive win over the Dallas Mavericks, clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference through games played until February 4th amongst teams with participating coaches.
The Eastern Conference is currently led by the Boston Celtics with a record of 37-12. However, their head coach, Joe Mazzulla, was already given the opportunity to coach in last year's All-Star Game. Consequently, Mazzulla is ineligible to participate in this year's festivities. The Milwaukee Bucks, under Rivers' guidance, hold the second-best record in the East at 33-16.
