The Los Angeles Lakers have announced the firing of head coach Darvin Ham on Friday. The 50-year-old Ham had a record of 90-74 in his two seasons as the Lakers' head coach, which included leading the team to the Western Conference Finals last season.
Unfortunately, the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs in five games on Monday, losing to the Denver Nuggets for the second consecutive postseason. Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager, Rob Pelinka, expressed appreciation for Ham's efforts and the team's accomplishments under his leadership.
