Someone call Skylar Grey because Luke Walton is coming home.
The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Friday that they have hired Golden State Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton as their new head coach. Walton has been considered the front-runner for the job ever since the team parted ways with Byron Scott last Sunday night.
It had appeared that once again the Lakers were being passed by, as the Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards signed coaches Tom Thibodeau and Scott Brooks, respectively while LA continued to deliberate over Scott’s future.
Unbeknownst to nervous Lakers fans, Walton was their man all along.
