Doc Rivers wouldn’t be a ‘fall guy’ if the Sixers fired him
The Sixers entered the 2022-23 NBA season with championship aspirations, but they’ve gotten off to a rocky 5-6 start. Although they temporarily righted the ship with their 100-88 win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, buzz about head coach Doc Rivers’ job security isn’t going away.
In late October, ESPN’s Zach Lowe said people were “chattering about that in the league ecosystem,” although he added that he didn’t know “how much that chatter is actually reality.” On Monday, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that Rivers is “destined to become the fall guy” if the Sixers can’t turn their season around.
