Lakers star Lebron James tweeted out of excitement Friday evening.
Ham will be a first-time head coach as Frank Vogel’s replacement. Vogel was fired in April after the team went 33-49 and missed the playoffs this season. Sources say the Lakers had a formal interview with Ham on Thursday and offered him the four-year coaching deal on Friday.
Ham has served as a Bucks assistant since 2018 and has worked under Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer since 2013
