Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers had campaigned for Kamala Harris and called Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally “atrocious” during an October 28 pregame availability, AP reports.

Rivers struck a conciliatory tone while discussing the election results.

“I was disappointed in the results, you know, I really was,” Rivers said during a postpractice media session.

“This is the most involved I’ve ever been in an election. A lot of it was personal because I’ve known Kamala for over 15 years. I thought she would have been a terrific president. The problem is 65 million-plus disagreed with me, and now Donald Trump’s our president, and we’re going to have to support him. We want him to do the best job for the country, at the end of the day.”
