The Los Angeles Lakers officially announced their new additions to the coaching staff, paving the way for the start of training camp.
Former Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale had long been reported to be joining the staff, replacing Jason Kidd, who left to become the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. And it was also recently rumored that the team would be adding John Lucas III to the staff as well, who has a bit of a history with Lakers superstar LeBron James.
Lucas played parts of eight seasons in the NBA between 2005 and 2017, but his best success came with the Chicago Bulls in the 2011-12 season.
