Bucks head coach Doc Rivers made some particularly notable comments about one of his former players, Joel Embiid.
On Tuesday, Rivers went up against Embiid and the 76ers, who he coached from 2020-23. Though Embiid has been significantly hampered by injuries over his career—including being limited to just 19 games last season—he’s had a strong return to action this year and scored 29 points in the Sixers’ 139-122 win over the Bucks.
