EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- There will be plenty of connections on the court when the Los Angeles Lakers face the LA Clippers on opening night Tuesday.
Clippers assistant coach Tyronn Lue, who used to coach LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers, walked away from an offer to coach the Lakers this summer.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel used to have Clippers forward Paul George on his team with the Indiana Pacers.
Clippers guard Patrick Beverley was once cut by the Miami Heat when James was on the team.
