The Clippers are close to hiring Tyronn Lue as a "top assistant" to coach Doc Rivers, according to the New York Times' Marc Stein.
Stein reports Lue will likely join the Clippers as an associate head coach. He was considered a top candidate for the Lakers coaching job this spring, but discussions between the two sides ended in an impasse without a deal in place.
Lue most recently served as head coach of the Cavaliers, who fired him following an 0–6 start at the beginning of the 2018-19 season.
