Doc Rivers texted Giannis Antetokounmpo to apologize for comments he made on The Bill Simmons Podcast, according to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears.
Rivers had called Antetokounmpo difficult to coach and questioned his basketball IQ.
Spears said Rivers stood by the first remark, explaining that he meant it as a compliment about coaching a superstar. The second was the one he regretted.
“He said he actually wanted to say that the feel for the game was something that he wanted to talk about, not the IQ,” Spears said.
Asked about Rivers’ remarks after Miami’s win over Sacramento, Antetokounmpo told reporters to ask Rivers why he said what he did.
“My coach is Coach Spo,” he said, adding that his focus was on how he could help the Heat.
