These moves solidify Lakers head coach Frank Vogel’s staff as the team prepares for the 2021-22 season.
The Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoff in the 2020-21 campaign, but injuries to Anthony Davis and LeBron James in the regular season limited the team’s ceiling.
Now, the Lakers welcome a veteran roster and revamped coaching staff heading into next season as they try to make it back to the NBA Finals.
Los Angeles won the 2019-20 NBA title in James’ second season with the team after missing the postseason in the 2018-19 season.
