The Philadelphia 76ers are facing difficult offseason decisions regarding their coaches and players after a 112-88 Game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals Sunday.
After the game, James Harden was asked about his relationship with head coach Doc Rivers and whether he wants the veteran coach back in Philadelphia next season.
“Our relationship is OK,” Harden said.
When asked about what he wants in his next opportunity as a player, Harden said, “I just want to have a chance to compete.”
Harden has a player option with Philadelphia next season and could potentially opt out. Rivers is signed with the 76ers through 2025, and Sunday’s loss marks his third consecutive season in Philadelphia getting bounced in the second round.
