Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers told reporters that NBA insider Shams Charania placed an angry phone call to the Bucks organization after Rivers made lighthearted comments about the journalist.
Rivers, speaking recently about the often-dynamic relationship between teams and the media, said his teasing remarks did not sit well with Charania. According to the coach, the reporter reached out to the Bucks front office to express his displeasure.
“Sometimes the media gets upset too,” Rivers noted, adding that Charania “wasn’t happy” with the quip. No further details about the nature of the original comment or the subsequent conversation were provided.
The incident underscores the occasionally tense exchanges that can occur when coaches or players publicly joke about high-profile reporters. Both Rivers and Charania have not issued additional statements on the matter.
