Report: Doc Rivers to meet with 76ers about coaching job

Doc Rivers will meet with the Philadelphia 76ers about their open coaching position, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported.

Rivers, 58, mutually parted ways with the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday following the team’s loss in the Western Conference semifinals earlier this month. The 76ers were reportedly one of the teams that immediately reached out to the veteran coach following the sudden news. The other was the New Orleans Pelicans.
