Doc Rivers reveals he was ready to take a break after parting ways with the Clippers

Doc Rivers had no intention to take over another team after parting ways with the Los Angeles Clippers.

After leaving the Clippers, Rivers wanted to take a break and stay away from coaching for a while.

Yet, the veteran coach admitted the Sixers were a job he could not turn down.

“I was not just going to coach anybody. I was ready to take a break. It depended on the team that was available,” Rivers said during his introductory press conference, via Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times.

Rivers signed a five-year contract with Philadelphia a few days ago.
