Overview
- Rivers, asked Tuesday before a loss to the Nets how long he will keep coaching, said he wants to see his seven young grandchildren and told reporters to figure it out.
- Horst told The Athletic he values Rivers, would not discuss contract terms, and expects the organization to figure out his role quickly.
- Reports note Rivers has one year left on a deal signed in January 2024 and his remaining salary is protected if the team dismisses him, not if he resigns, with a possible front-office move also discussed.
- League reporting names former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins as a leading candidate if Milwaukee changes coaches, and the Wizards are also linked to him.
- The Bucks missed the playoffs for the first time in about a decade and Rivers’ Hall of Fame selection on April 4 has sharpened questions about a coaching change.
