Milwaukee center Myles Turner said former Bucks coach Doc Rivers did not fine players for their transgressions during the 2025-26 season.“Doc Rivers, he didn’t fine anybody, ever,” Turner said. “Guys were late all the time. Guys were showing up to film whenever they wanted to show up. Guys were missing meetings. It was one of the craziest things I’ve personally ever experienced.”This past season was Turner’s first in Milwaukee after spending the first 10 years of his career with the Indiana Pacers, where Nate McMillan, Nate Bjorkgren and Rick Carlisle coached him.“But any other team I’ve been on, guys got fined,” Turner said. “There was a sense of order and a sense of understanding. You’re late to the plane, (you get a) fine. You’re late to treatment: fine. You’re late to film: fine. But I personally did not experience that last year for the first time in my career.”Turner’s comments, which were made on the latest episode of his podcast, “Game Recognize Game,” shocked co-host and WNBA superstar forward Breanna Stewart. Stewart said her team’s new coach, Chris DeMarco, who was an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors before taking the job, was handing out fines for missed free-throw box outs.
