Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers has entered the NBA health and safety protocol, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.  Rivers is one of seven coaches to enter the NBA health and safety protocol over the past few days.  The Sixers will be coached by assistant coach Dan Burke until Rivers is able to clear the NBA COVID-19 protocols. 

The NBA recently adjusted their COVID-19 protocols to all allow players, coaches, and staff to return after five-days instead of ten-days. Rivers could return on Wednesday, January 5, when the Sixers take on the Magic on Orlando.
