Doc Rivers steps down

Rivers' exit has raised immediate questions about the future of star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, who expressed frustration over being sidelined during the team's late-season collapse.

The Bucks' season ended with a loss to the 76ers, snapping a nine-year run of playoff appearances.

Potential suitors are already being linked to Antetokounmpo as the franchise faces a major rebuilding phase.

Rivers, whose NBA career has spanned 40 years as both a player and coach, has not yet indicated whether he plans to seek another position.
