Doc Rivers out as LA Clippers coach after 'disappointing' end to season
Doc Rivers is out as head coach of the LA Clippers following a season that fell well short of championship expectations after the team landed All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George last summer.
"Thank you Clipper Nation for allowing me to be your coach and for all your support in helping make this a winning franchise," Rivers said in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday. "When I took this job, my goals were to make this a winning basketball program, a free agent destination, and bring a championship to this organization.
"While I was able to accomplish most of my goals, I won't be able to see them all through. Though it was a disappointing ending to our season, you are right there and I know what this team is capable of accomplishing with your support.
"Thank you to all the players, coaches, and staff for helping us get here. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. We went through a lot, and I am grateful for my time here."
