Doc Rivers and Steve Ballmer are believed to have already reached agreement on a contract extension to remain head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Rivers lost personnel authority last offseason as the Clippers hired Jerry West, promoted Lawrence Frank while also adding Mike Winger and Trent Redden.

Rivers and Ballmer declined comment on the contract status.

In an interview this week, Rivers said, "I love where the organization is at right now.''
