Former Celtics coach Doc Rivers has agreed to become head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin on Tuesday. Griffin was a little more than halfway through his first season.
The Bucks are tied for the second-best record in the NBA behind the Celtics. But, sources told Wojnarowski that the organization felt it could find an upgrade that would give them a better shot at winning the championship.
Rivers, who played college basketball in Milwaukee at Marquette, had been serving as an NBA analyst for ESPN this season.
