Doc Rivers Discusses A Nightmare 2025/26 Season With The Milwaukee Bucks

Over the past decade, the Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the most consistent teams in the NBA, and while they have just one Championship to show for it, they've been highly competitive year in, year out. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and the arrival of Myles Turner, hopes were once again high for 2025/26, even in one of the toughest Eastern Conference's we've seen in quite some time.

Unfortunately, whether it be injuries, trade rumors or inconsistencies, everything that could go wrong this season, has gone wrong, with their future as a team now clearly up in the air. Now, Head Coach Doc Rivers has been asked about all of these struggles, and unsurprisingly, he simply doesn't have the answers as to how they could have gone any better in 2025/26.

“It's been disappointing, obviously. Since I've been here, I haven't had a healthy stretch and it's been your key guys. It's been Giannis. It's been Dame... This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin ... All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either.”

Rivers has shown himself to be a solid coach throughout his NBA career, but with all of this happening on and off the floor this year, there's just nothing that he could have done for this team.

Ultimately, this is a team that's going to change drastically this summer, and if Doc Rivers remains in charge moving forward, there's very little chance that they'll be competitive again anytime soon.
