- 76ers were beaten by Boston in Eastern Conference semi-final
- Philly have consistently failed to make impact in postseason
The Philadelphia 76ers fired coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday following a third straight exit in the second round of the playoffs, a source has told the Associated Press. The news was also reported in several other outlets.
Rivers led the 76ers to their second straight 50-win season behind NBA MVP Joel Embiid but again failed to lead them to the Eastern Conference Finals.
