What Garnett is missing is his coach.
Even with an important Clippers season ahead of him, Doc Rivers made time to take a trip to East Coast and maintain his relationship with the Action for Boston Community Development charity, an anti-poverty effort he helped start in the city he once called home.
Doc Rivers might have left the city of Boston, but his connection to the ABCD anti-poverty group never ended. The Clippers coach spoke with The Crossover about his charity efforts, trading his son and his history with the Celtics.
Kevin Garnett has retired after 21 seasons in the NBA with the Timberwolves, Celtics and Nets.
