Former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers made critical remarks about Giannis Antetokounmpo following his dismissal from the team, according to reports. The comments come after Rivers was relieved of his coaching duties, with the two-time MVP reportedly expressing his feelings about the firing.

Details of Rivers' specific criticisms were not immediately disclosed. The Bucks organization has not issued a formal response to the reported remarks. Antetokounmpo, who led Milwaukee to an NBA championship in 2021, has been the franchise cornerstone since being drafted in 2013.
