Stephen A. Smith can’t keep a secret.
On his SiriusXM show on Mad Dog Sports Radio on Wednesday, a listener mentioned Grizzlies guard Ja Morant potentially being traded to the Bucks and Doc Rivers in the offseason. “It’s not gonna be Doc Rivers because Doc Rivers is gonna retire at the end of this season,” Smith said.
NBAE via Getty Images It’s unclear whether Smith’s claim has legs, but he did work with Rivers at ESPN for part of the 2023-24 season before the coach Rivers’ tenure in Milwaukee has been a nightmare, going 91-88 across two-and-a-half seasons and failing to make it past the first round of the playoffs.Rivers has never been a fan of blowing things up. He moved to the Clippers in 2013 after the Celtics started a rebuild earlier in his career. Even though he’s under contract through next season, he could just retire instead of continuing, or Milwaukee could simply let him go.Amid his 27th year as an NBA head coach, the 64-year-old Rivers owns a 1,188-851 career record across stints with the Magic, Celtics, Clippers, 76ers and Bucks., Rivers was one of ESPN’s lead NBA analysts alongside Mike Breen and Doris Burke. Since then, the company has struggled to replace him.
