Doc Rivers Stands Firm on ICE Critique, Calls Minnesota Shooting 'Murder'

The remarks followed an OutKick question at TD Garden, contrasting with Steve Kerr's recent apology.

Overview

  • Asked whether he meant “murder” in a legal or moral sense, the Milwaukee Bucks coach answered “both” and said he would not change his words.
  • Rivers condemned ICE training as “horrible” and said “if you’re Brown, you’re nervous,” adding that even law‑abiding people feel targeted.
  • He invoked Hakeem Olajuwon as an example of who might have been “taken off the streets” under current enforcement, underscoring his broader concerns.
  • Federal officials maintain the ICE agent acted in self‑defense in the killing of Renee Good, saying she “weaponized her vehicle” during operations in Minneapolis.
  • The exchange came days after Warriors coach Steve Kerr apologized for “misinformation,” as NBA teams held tributes and fundraising tied to the Minnesota deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
