The Los Angeles Lakers have pulled the plug and are dismissing head coach Darvin Ham, the team announced Saturday morning.
Amid all the rumors and speculations surrounding the development, the Lakers have parted ways with the coach who has been with them for over two years.
There were early reports over the past week after the Lakers&rsquo; loss to the Denver Nuggets in Round 1 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The Athletic&rsquo;s Jovan Buha was quoted saying, "The latest I've heard is the plan is still to move on from Darvin [Ham] at some point, likely by the end of the week, potentially as early as tomorrow, then the head coaching search will start. I've already started to hear some names from different people."
And today, the team finally made it official in a team statement.

Ham and the Lakers have had a good run, going 90-74 over the past two seasons. Ham led LA to the Western Conference Finals in 2023 but got swept by the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers got back stronger this year, finishing with a 47-35 record, but got ousted again by the Nuggets in 5 games.
Along with Ham, the Lakers&rsquo; entire coaching staff including Phil Handy and the others was also dismissed by LA&rsquo;s front office.
An extensive coaching search is set to commence as the Lakers continue their pursuit of that elusive 18th championship banner. This development will add to an already busy offseason of roster moves and the impending decision of superstar LeBron James about his future with the team.

The Minnesota Timberwolves officially became the first team to punch a ticket to the second round after sweeping the Phoenix Suns.

2024 NBA Playoffs Day 9 Recap: Timberwolves sweep Suns; Knicks, Pacers build commanding leads

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has been named the 2023-2024 Kia NBA Coach of the Year, the league announced Sunday night.
Daigneault, 39, dominated the coach of the year race, including finalists Jamahl Mosley of the Orlando Magic and Chris Finch of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Daigneault finished with a total of 473 points with 89 1st place votes (equivalent to five points), 9 2nd place votes (three points), and 1 3rd place votes (one point). Mosley came in distant second with 158 points while Finch came in at third with 105 total points.
Daigneault and the Thunder exceeded expectations this season after taking the team to the West&rsquo;s no.1 seed despite being the second youngest team in the league. Nobody expected the Thunder to be this good early already, and with that Daigneault rightfully deserves to win the award.
The 39-year-old coach becomes the second Thunder coach to win the award, joining Scott Brooks who won in 2009-2010. Under Daigneault, the Thunder went 57-25 in the regular season and tied for the best record in the Western Conference, earning the No. 1 playoff seed. Oklahoma City became the youngest team (weighted by playing time) to finish with the best record (or tied for the best) in its conference since 1970-71, the first NBA season with Eastern and Western conferences.
The Thunder, who were the 10-seed last season, made a 17-win improvement (40-42) to secure a playoff berth for the first time in four years.

OKC Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has been named the 2023-2024 Kia NBA Coach of the Year, the league announced.
