Austin Rivers is poised to make a small piece of NBA history after being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, coached by his father Doc Rivers.
When he takes the floor for his new team, Rivers will become the first son to play for his father in the NBA.
The Clippers acquired Rivers in a three-team trade on Thursday, sending Reggie Bullock to the Suns and Chris Douglas-Roberts to Boston in the deal.
The Celtics also received forward Shavlik Randolph from Phoenix.
Coby Karl was briefly a member of the Denver Nuggets in 2010 when his father George Karl was their coach – but he never played while his father was in charge.
