Rivers, who recently became an ESPN analyst, spoke on"NBA Today," where he addressed his relationship with Harden and the deterioration of the Sixers star's relationship with Daryl Morey.
Former Sixers head coach Doc Rivers offered advice for James Harden, who held out of media day and the first day of training camp.”Just play and it will work out,” said Rivers, who was hired as an ESPN basketball analyst in August. “James is a terrific player. If he has to go to Philadelphia, clearly that’s not the situation that he wants to be in, going by what he’s said. Just go and play. Be a pro, and I think it will all work out.”The point guard made waves on Aug.
”He’s in a tough spot,” Rivers said. “We all know that. It is hard to walk back all of the things that have been said. It’s a tough situation for him. But I think he’ll be able to get through it.” Rivers was fired after receiving a lot of blame for the Sixers’ 112-88 Game 7 loss to the Celtics on May 14 in the Eastern Conference semifinals at TD Garden. It marked the third consecutive season that Rivers’ squad had suffered a second-round playoff exit.
