Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 90-74 under Ham's tenure
Los Angeles Lakers part ways with head coach Darvin Ham after two seasons
Team's postseason performance was disappointing as they were eliminated by Denver Nuggets in five games
The team is now looking for a new coach to maximize LeBron James' final chapter in his career and return to championship contention
Los Angeles Lakers, a professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California, have parted ways with their head coach Darvin Ham after two seasons. Ham's tenure saw the team make it to the Western Conference Finals last year and reach the playoffs this season but failed to secure a championship.
The Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 90-74 under Ham, but their postseason performance was disappointing as they were eliminated by Denver Nuggets in five games. The team's failure to protect double-digit leads in all four losses against the Nuggets has been a topic of discussion.
Ham inherited a Lakers team that had finished 33-49 in the previous season and missed out on playoffs qualification. He was hired to replace Frank Vogel, who led the team to an NBA title inside the NBA bubble in 2020.
The Lakers' decision to fire Ham comes as a surprise given that he had two years remaining on his contract. The team is now looking for a new coach who can maximize the final chapter of LeBron James' storied career and return to championship contention.
James, who is still playing at a high level despite being 40 and nearing the end of his career, has not yet announced whether he will play for the Lakers next season. The team's offseason search for a new coach is expected to be extensive.
