Rivers Rips Bucks! Doc Rivers Blasts Bucks for Misusing Star Forward
The Milwaukee Bucks are in the midst of a tight playoff seeding battle as the regular season winds down. Milwaukee currently sits in the No. 5 seed of the Eastern Conference playoff picture but they are only one full game out of the No. 4 seed.
The Bucks have suffered some injuries in recent weeks, including to center Jericho Sims. Due to this injury, Milwaukee has had to play some unconventional rotations and forward Kyle Kuzma has seen the brunt of much of it.
Kuzma has had to play multiple positions and hasn’t been able to fully get his role down. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers weighed in on this and admitted that the team was “screwing” Kuzma up due to this.
“He’s been good,” Rivers said Thursday. “I think we’re screwing him up more right now, just putting so much on his plate. We had him at the three for a bit, it looked like he was going to start getting his groove and now, with Jericho out, we’ve got him at the three, the four, maybe even the five at times.
