LOS ANGELES – Darvin Ham, a long-time assistant coach for the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks and former TNT import in the PBA, has been hired as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to multiple reports on Friday.
ESPN reported the Lakers have hired Ham while The Athletic said the team was signing a four-year deal with Ham, who would be getting his first NBA head coaching post.
The Lakers fired Frank Vogel last month after going 33-49 and missing the playoffs.
