Lakers Reportedly Set to Fire Coach Frank Vogel

The Lakers apparently aren’t wasting any time in moving on from their disaster of a season.

Within hours of Los Angeles finishing its final game of the season Sunday night, a largely meaningless win over the Nuggets, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that would be the final game Frank Vogel coached for the franchise. The Lakers will now reportedly embark on a “lengthy and expansive” search for the next coach to work with LeBron James and whichever other Lakers are still on the roster next season.

Los Angeles finished its season 33–49, its worst season since 2016-17, finishing one game behind the Spurs for 10th place In the Western Conference and the final spot in the play-in tournament.
