The Lakers are getting closer to deciding on their next head coach. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Los Angeles has chosen Kenny Atkinson, Terry Stotts and Darvin Ham as the three finalists for this position.
Charania reports the Lakers will interview all three finalists in Los Angeles a second time.
Stotts has the most head coaching experience among these three, having spent time as a head coach for three separate organizations. Most recently, Stotts spent nine seasons as the Trail Blazers head coach, leading Portland to 402 total wins, eight playoff appearances and a Western Conference finals appearance in 2019.
