"How embarrassing for us": Doc Rivers' daughter Callie Curry highlights report calling Donald Trump's campaign 'most racist in modern history'

Doc Rivers’ season with the Milwaukee Bucks has gotten off to a rocky start, with his team dropping six consecutive games. Meanwhile, off the court, the coach had taken time to support the Harris/Walz campaign. He even featured in a video where he "coaches" Wes Moore, Tony West and Douglas Emhoff, likening the election to taking a crucial game-winning shot.

After Donald Trump was named President-elect, Rivers' daughter Callie, who is married to Seth Curry, shared her reaction on her Instagram story. She reposted an article from the Huffington Post claiming that Trump had run the "most racist campaign in modern history — and won."

The article alleged that Trump had used racist and misogynistic attacks against his political opponents. Sharing the article, Callie Curry added a caption that said:

"And yall voted for that man... How embarrassing for us."

Doc Rivers reacts to news of Donald Trump being named President-elect

On Election Day, the NBA scheduled no games to allow fans to vote without missing out on games. After this break, the Milwaukee Bucks returned to practice on Wednesday to prepare for their Thursday home game against the Utah Jazz.

After Wednesday's practice, Doc Rivers spoke to reporters about the elections, telling media that he's never been as involved in elections as he was this time.

Even though Kamala Harris, whom Doc Rivers has known for 15 years, did not win, the coach urged the country to come together and support the President-elect.

"Well, I was disappointed in the results. ... This is the most involved I've ever been in an election and 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," he said (per Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
"And now Donald Trump is 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. ... Do I like some of the things that he does? No. But now he's getting a second chance to be a better president than he was the first time and I hope he is. I'm cheering for him."

Kamala Harris is expected to address her supporters on Wednesday afternoon to formally concede the election.
