The Milwaukee head coach revealed that the team's promising young point guard could already be faced with a major choice.
Just as the Milwaukee Bucks' 2024-25 NBA season has started to turn around and the club has begun to emphasize some of its younger charges, one of the most intriguing breakouts could soon be faced with an ominous choice.
"Yeah, he's in a tough spot, honestly. I think he's going to give it a go. With that injury, you don't have but two choices," Rivers said. "One is to play and the other is to do surgery. And Ryan, at this point in his career, surgery would be very difficult for him. So I think he's going to try to give it a go — not today obviously — but soon."
He had his draft rights traded to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Tyrese Martin. He played sparingly for Golden State as a rookie, and in February of the 2022-23 season he had a season-ending surgery to repair a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
