Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is unlikely to be in charge of the team for the 2024-25 season after L.A. was ousted from the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets for a second consecutive season, multiple sources told The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The Lakers will reassess in the coming days, but management believes the roster is more talented than a first-round exit, Charania adds.
After the Lakers’ elimination in Game 5, Ham noted the multitude of injuries that plagued L.A. throughout the season as a reason for the squad’s shortcomings.
“It seemed like every time we hit a rhythm, somebody, a key piece, would fall out of the lineup,” Ham said in his press conference.
