Doc Rivers is the one to fall on the sword.

The Philadelphia 76ers have fired Rivers after three seasons as head coach, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The 61-year-old has led the Sixers into the second round in all of his seasons but has never advanced into the Eastern Conference Finals.

Rivers owns a 154-82 (.659) record as head coach in Philadelphia. The longtime head coach joined the Sixers after seven seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Chicago native was named one of the 15 greatest coaches in NBA history in 2021-22 and has won one NBA championship (2007-2008 Boston Celtics) in 24 seasons as a coach.

The search for a head coach in Philadelphia already includes a big list of names. Mike Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, Mike D’Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel and Monty Williams are all in the running to take over, according to ESPN.
