Hapoel Tel Aviv announced a major signing from the NBA for the upcoming EuroLeague season. The club officially confirmed the arrival of former Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey on a one-year deal.
These deals bothered Doc Rivers and other coaches, as they felt the organization had bowed too much to appease their star player. To them, Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted things both ways. “Giannis said so many things,” a former coach said, “It stems from your actions, which is, 'My brothers have to be on this team.' Well then, are you about a championship? 'Cause they’re not only not helping us win a championship, it’s creating dissension.” Jon Horst, meanwhile, appeared to try to appease Rivers with a different preferred player. The Bucks signed Amir Coffey, who began his career under Rivers with the Clippers. The team would cut former draft picks Chris Livingston and Tyler Smith to make room for the veteran.
The Suns have upgraded Amir Coffey (left ankle sprain) to available for Sunday’s game against Chicago.

Sanders became the first rookie in the Tyronn Lue era to start a game, play at least 35 minutes and score 20 points. The only rookies who did it for the Clippers in the Doc Rivers era, which lasted from 2013 to 2020, were Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Amir Coffey. “Just playing basketball for such a long time, you pick up IQ, you pick up just little things here and there,” Sanders said. “And then, just having teammates and coaches around you that know your game, that can instill confidence in you and then keep pushing you to get better every day. It just helps a lot.”
