Doc Rivers is assembling his coaching staff for the Milwaukee Bucks, with Dave Joerger, a former head coach with Memphis and Sacramento, finalizing a deal to join, along with longtime NBA assistant Rex Kalamian. Jeff Van Gundy is also in talks to join the staff, a move that is seen as an effort by Bucks ownership to keep Giannis happy and return to the finals. Kalamian, who has been working as a scout with the Nets this season, is expected to join Joerger as part of Rivers' new staff with the Bucks.
