Doc Rivers played in the NBA from 1983 to 1996 on teams like the Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, and the Atlanta Hawks. In 1999, he transitioned from player to coach, guiding the Orlando Magic with his wisdom and experience. He later went on to coach in Boston, L.A., and Philadelphia. While Rivers' career is impressive, his offspring's legacy is even more so.
The legendary player and coach has four children with his former wife, Kristin. Jeremiah Rivers played ball at Georgetown and Indiana University. Austin Rivers played at Duke University before heading to the NBA, where he has been a part of numerous pro teams. When offered the opportunity to play for his dad, who coached the Los Angeles Clippers from 2013 to 2020, Austin explained to The Ringer, "I would really kind of like to go somewhere else. I don't want to be under that name or that shadow." His feelings are understandable, since he added that he took a lot of heat playing under his dad.
As for the other Rivers kids, youngest son, Spencer Rivers, played at the University of California, Irvine. Doc and Kristin have one daughter, Callie. She was also an athletically talented Rivers kid, specializing in volleyball at the University of Florida. She bridges her basketball family to another basketball dynasty, the Currys, when she and Seth Curry married in 2019.
