Sources: Clippers send Austin Rivers to Wizards for Marcin Gortat

The LA Clippers ended the first-father-son coach-player relationship in NBA history on Tuesday, trading guard Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards for center Marcin Gortat, league sources said.

Rivers played three-plus seasons for his father, Doc Rivers, with the Clippers. Rivers traded a second-round pick to Boston in January of 2015 for Austin, but is no longer running basketball operations with the Clippers. Lawrence Frank is the Clippers' president of basketball operations, with Michael Winger the general manager.

The Wizards have been searching for trades to move Gortat in the past several months.
