Doc Rivers is excited about the possibility of winning the NBA Cup, and according to the head coach, the Milwaukee Bucks are preparing for battle by “bringing wheelchairs” to Sin City, citing the team’s collective senior age.

“I mean, we will bring our wheelchairs to the cup because we have these three youthful teams. You know, everyone, Atlanta is youthful. Oklahoma is youthful. Houston is youthful. Then here comes the senior Milwaukee Bucks. Rivers joked.

“You know, this is what we’re going to be. We’ll just roll in wheelchairs, walk in with canes, and see if we can just play basketball. That’s what we intend to do,” he added.
