The Los Angeles Lakers will have a new coach as the current coach, Darvin Ham, has been officially fired, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
This decision has been looming for several days, mainly due to the Los Angeles Lakers’ early exit from the playoffs.
Unlike last season, this time they avoided the sweep, but despite that, they were convincingly defeated by the Denver Nuggets with a 4-1 series score in the first round of the NBA Western Conference.
During his two seasons as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Darvin Ham had a record of 90-74 in the regular season and made it to the playoffs through the play-in tournament twice. In the previous season, he led the team to the Western Conference Finals, and this season, they won the NBA In-Season Tournament.
