Contract negotiations between the Los Angeles Lakers and Tyronn Lue have reportedly reached an impasse without a deal in place, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Lakers will continue their search for a replacement of former head coach Luke Walton, who mutually parted ways with Los Angeles at the end of the 2018-19 regular season. Lue emerged as a favorite to be named the Lakers head coach after the Phoenix Suns hired Monty Williams.
It was reported Monday that the Lakers and Lue had engaged in discussions to make Lue their next head coach.
