VIDEO: Austin Rivers Got His Dad Doc Rivers T'd up in Awkward Thanksgiving Dinner in the Making
By Mark Powell
Austin Rivers...what are you doing? The Rockets guard wasn't thinking of the long-term implications when he motioned for referees to give his father, Clippers coach Doc Rivers, a technical foul during Houston's Wednesday night game against Los Angeles. Thanksgiving dinner is going to be awkward in the Rivers household.
Austin Rivers has carved out a nice niche for himself on the Rockets roster, and provides some vital minutes off the bench for a Houston team expected to make another playoff push in the 2019-20 league year. Doc, meanwhile, remains coach of one of the favorites in the Western Conference in the Kawhi-led Clippers. Something's gotta give, and a playoff series between the two Rivers' men would offer yet another storyline this Summer.
