Rivers’ deal with the 76ers comes just three days after departing with the Los Angeles Clippers. In seven seasons with the Clippers, LA went 356-208, winning 63.1% of their regular-season games. That was the fifth-best record in the NBA and the best by any team without appearing in a conference finals.

He returns to the Atlantic Division where he had won an NBA title as the head coach of the Boston Celtics in 2009.
