Darvin Ham’s future as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers appears uncertain, with sources suggesting his return next season is unlikely. The Lakers are set to evaluate the season before making a decision.

Throughout the season, Ham’s coaching decisions, such as benching players during a losing streak, raised concerns within the organization.

There was a perception that some players were treated differently than others, with some allowed to play through mistakes while others were not. Additionally, there were criticisms that Ham rarely took responsibility for his coaching decisions.
