JUST IN: Former 76ers coach Doc Rivers releases statement to fans after being fired by team
The Philadelphia 76ers dismissed coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday, the team announced.
After his firing, Rivers released this statement to 76ers fans on Instagram: "I absolutely love your commitment to the city and its teams - never lose that. I wanted, just as badly as you, to bring another championship to Philadelphia. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead, to learn, and to love this great city."Rivers is one of five head coaches in NBA history to record a winning record in at least 16 consecutive seasons.
Rivers, who delivered his 16th straight winning season as a head coach, lost for the 10th time in a Game 7, including five in a row. The defeat to the Celtics also marked the ninth straight time that Rivers lost with a chance to reach the conference finals. If Harden opts out of his deal, he's eligible to sign a four-year, $202 million deal with another team, or a four-year, $210 deal to remain in Philadelphia, per ESPN's Bobby Marks. The 76ers are unable to sign Harden for a fifth season, despite having his Bird rights, because of the over-38 rule in the NBA's collective bargaining agreement.
