Second-year coach Darvin Ham was fired by the Lakers after a seventh-place finish in the standings and a first-round playoff loss to the Denver Nuggets.
After being eliminated in the NBA playoffs by the Denver Nuggets for the second consecutive season, the Lakers have fired coach Darvin Ham, according to people familiar with the situation not authorized to speak publicly. The decision comes days after the Lakers lost in Game 5 to Denver after Jamal Murray’s second game-winner of the series. The Lakers went 47-35 this season, the eighth-best record in the West.
This season, despite the Lakers winning the NBA’s first in-season tournament, Ham’s inability to find consistently successful lineups rubbed veterans the wrong way, the Lakers leaning on players such as Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish to start games while D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura — players the team committed $140 million to in the offseason — spent time coming off the bench.
