The 76ers threw their name into a crowded coaching carousel Tuesday morning, reportedly dismissing coach Doc Rivers after three seasons. While Rivers was successful in the regular season, he couldn't get Philadelphia over the hump and into the conference finals for the first time since 2001.
To wit, the names the 76ers reportedly have in mind for their coaching vacancy include three former NBA champions.
According to a Tuesday morning report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Philadelphia’s search for a new leader will include every NBA champion coach from 2019 to ’21—former Raptors coach Nick Nurse, former Lakers coach Frank Vogel, and former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer.
