A couple of times during his tenure as Boston Celtics head coach, Doc Rivers’ return the following season was up in the the air. Then he was signed to an extension and that talk went away for a while. This offseason is no different, and there are also questions around Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett’s return.
However, one thing is for certain: Doc will be back next year.
A league source confirmed an earlier report by the Boston Globe that Rivers would in fact return to the sidelines for the Celtics next season.
“We’ve got a coach everybody would love to have,” Ainge told the Globe.
