Doc Rivers Said Health Issues, Lack Of Depth, Giannis Antetokounmpo Rumors Undid Bucks Season

It's been Giannis (Antetokounmpo). It's been Dame (Lillard). And you hope you can play through that, but we just haven't had the ability. This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin. We knew that before the season started and it just didn't go our way. All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either. The last portion of that quote is a reference to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors and reporting that he was unhappy with the Bucks. Rivers did say that Milwaukee had some silver linings this season. But I always try to look at silver linings and Ryan (Rollins) is one of them. Pete Nance is another one. Ous (Dieng) is one of them. And we gotta rehabilitate or get A.J. Green going again. He's a good player. He's played too many minutes. We've had no choice and I think that's put him in a tough spot and I feel bad for him at times, Rivers said. Bobby (Portis) is Bobby. He's been a pro throughout this year. We had a great talk today about it before the game. I'm so proud of him as a leader. He tries to do the right stuff. He tries to say the right things in the locker room.
