Doc Rivers: Lakers firing Darvin Ham after making 2023 West Finals/winning the in-season tournament ‘makes no sense’

Doc Rivers questioned why the Los Angeles Lakers fired Darvin Ham while discussing how things have been since he returned to the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant.

(via Milwaukee Bucks):

“It’s been great. First of all, he’s been here even longer than me. He knows things that I didn’t know. He has relationships with the players. Another guy that can trust. Trust is so important for players. And more importantly, he deserves it. I’m not going to get into the whole thing that happened there, but he took a team to a Western Finals, and then the following year, he won the in-season tournament, which they say we should have a lot of value on, and then they release him. It literally makes no sense, but it happens. It happens to all of us. It’s part of what we do. But Darvin Ham’s a coach, he should be on the sidelines, and I wanted him next to me.”
