Clippers Coach Doc Rivers says he's feeling better after taking ill recently

Clippers Coach Doc Rivers health improved Monday after he felt ill during Sunday night’s game against the Charlotte Hornets at Staples Center.

Rivers felt too sick to attend his postgame media session after the Clippers’ 124-121 overtime victory. Assistant Mike Woodson addressed the media in his place.

During the game, Rivers frequently bent over and sat down more than usual.

On Monday, he said simply that he was feeling “a little better.”

Ill for several weeks, he finally was told by doctors after several tests that his symptoms were caused by a parasite.
