Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers reportedly sent a partial apology via text message to star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo following recent sharp comments made by Rivers, according to a report published on November 10, 2026.

The apology comes after Rivers' critical remarks about Antetokounmpo, though the specific nature of the comments and the content of the text message were not disclosed in the initial report.

Rivers, in his first season as Bucks coach, has had a complex relationship with the two-time MVP. The reported text message suggests an attempt to mend fences after the public criticism.
