Tyronn Lue has agreed to a five-year deal to become the new head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Lue served as an assistant under former head coach Doc Rivers last season. Lue’s tenure in Cleveland, where he won a championship with the Cavaliers in 2016, played a role in him earning the job, per Wojnarowski:
The Clippers’ search landed on Lue based upon a confidence that his championship pedigree and playoff successes as a head coach in Cleveland, as well as his strong ability to communicate with players, will resonate within a franchise that underachieved in the 2019-2020 season.
