The end of the disastrous campaign for the Milwaukee Bucks has brought the first major consequence: the dismissal of their coach, Doc Rivers, just after the regular season. The franchise closed the season with a poor record of 32-50, far from even contending for a playoff spot. This performance hastened the coach's exit, making him the first to fall after the season's end.
In his slightly over two-year tenure as head of the team, Rivers achieved a record of 97 wins and 103 losses. During that period, the Bucks suffered two clear eliminations in the first round, and in this last season, they didn't even manage to qualify for the Play-In. The coach's departure comes shortly after a media episode in which Rivers harshly criticized ESPN journalist Shams Charania, accusing him of publishing "inaccurate" information about a supposed toxic environment in the locker room.
However, a respected voice within the organization, commentator and team legend Marques Johnson, was clear: "It is as toxic as it seems. It's a bad situation."

Giannis, next on the list
At the center of this environment is Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose continuity in Milwaukee is increasingly in doubt. The player and the franchise have had disagreements in recent weeks regarding his physical condition and his potential return to the court. The power forward has not played since March 15, and everything indicates that he may have already played his last game with the Bucks.
Despite being fired as coach, there is a possibility that Rivers could remain connected to the organization. According to journalist Michael Scotto, there is a chance he may take on a yet-to-be-defined role within the club's management. Milwaukee thus enters a summer full of uncertainty, with key decisions to be made both on the bench and regarding the future of their top star.
