Following the dismissal of Darvin Ham as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the two-year coach is expected to draw interested from teams around the league, according to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

“Darvin Ham is expected to be a head coaching candidate elsewhere in this league, whether it’s in this cycle or in the future,” Wojnarowski said on ESPN’s Sports Center.

Ham was fired after the Lakers lost the first-round series against the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets, 1-5. Last season he guided the Purple and Gold to the Western Conference Finals.
