Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers: “Well this has not been a fun year, for anybody, but watching some of our young guys develop, it has been fun. Watching Ryan [Rollins], watching AJ [Green], Jericho Sims. When you look at our roster, we’re playing a lot of guys with minimum contracts and trying to win games, that’s hard to do, it really is.”
