Davis, 48, played 10 years in the NBA, averaging 13.9 points and 4.5 assists per game with Portland, Indiana, Atlanta and Cleveland.

Davis, in his fifth season with the Magic, was an assistant with New Jersey from 1997-99. He's also been an assistant with Atlanta, the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland. As a rookie, he helped the Trail Blazers win the NBA title in 1977.

Davis went 22-60 and missed the playoffs as coach of the 76ers in the 1996-97 season. He hopes to rev up the Orlando game.

"In terms of the way I like to play the game, I'm more of an up-tempo coach. I like a fast-paced game," Davis said. "We looked to do that previously, but we didn't get the steam into the game that we wanted, so I want to see that come back into the Orlando Magic style of play."

Rivers had been the longest-tenured coach working in the Eastern Conference, entering his fifth season with the Magic.

"I'll go home, walk in the house and reintroduce myself to my family," Rivers, 42, said. "I'll see what I want to do. There'll be some options."

Rivers played 13 seasons for the Hawks, Clippers, Knicks and Spurs before retiring in 1996 to become a TV analyst for Turner Sports. He was 171-168 in his four-plus seasons with Orlando and ranks second on the franchise's career victories list.

"I love coaching. I enjoy coaching," Rivers said. "I consider it in my blood, but I think it might be time for a break."
