Assistant coach Jason Love leaving Sixers to join Doc Rivers, Bucks

Assistant coach Jason Love will leave the Philadelphia 76ers to join Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Philadelphia 76ers lost a piece of their coaching staff early in this 2024 offseason with free agency set to begin in just roughly two weeks.

Coach Nick Nurse put together a solid coaching staff in his first season in Philadelphia and it helped them navigate through a tough season filled with injuries and adversity. Despite superstar big man Joel Embiid missing 43 games, the Sixers still finished 47-35 and were able to earn a playoff spot as the No. 7 seed in the East.

Jason Love, a player development coach for Nurse, was a key part of that success. After five overall seasons with the Sixers, Love will now head to Milwaukee to join Doc Rivers and the Bucks.

Per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto:

In other 76ers news, assistant coach Jason Love is headed to the Milwaukee Bucks to reunite with coach Doc Rivers, league sources told HoopsHype.

Love is a Philadelphia native and played internationally from 2011-through-2018. He played his collegiate ball at Xavier and will now take his coaching chops to Milwaukee and help Rivers get the Bucks back on track.
