Former Sixers assistant Dave Joerger joining Doc Rivers’ staff in Milwaukee

While the Philadelphia 76ers’ listless effort in Thursday night’s loss to Indiana certainly put a damper on things, let’s not forget how hilarious it is that the Milwaukee Bucks are paying Doc Rivers $40 million through the 2026-27 season to be their new head coach. Now that Doc is tasked with getting the Bucks back on a parade float down East Wisconsin Avenue, he’s going about assembling his crew. And with Rivers basically stealing money, like any good heist movie, he’s calling on some familiar faces from his past.

Former Grizzlies and Kings head coach Dave Joerger is finalizing a deal to join Doc Rivers’ Milwaukee Bucks coaching staff, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
