Doc Rivers removed of basketball operations duties

Doc Rivers will return to a primary coaching role, with L.A. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer reportedly removing the head coach's responsibilities as President of Basketball Operations.

Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank will take on an expanded role overseeing basketball operations, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. 

"I am committed to the Clippers’ success and am excited to focus on the coaching side as two-thirds of our roster will be new this year," Rivers said. "This is a change I discussed with Steve since my bet last year on Lawrence Frank has worked out so well."
