ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham might be on the ‘hot seat’ if the team loses Game 5 on Monday against the Denver Nuggets.
The Los Angeles Lakers are still alive! On Saturday night, the Lakers staved off elimination, winning Game 4 and forcing a Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs. The Lakers will live to fight another day, earning a victory, 119-108.
Now, Los Angeles will travel back to the Mile High City and look to extend this series and force a Game 6. The Lakers’ chances of doing so are slim, and their chances of winning the series at this moment are slim to none. However, if the Lakers can’t extend their season past Monday, it may spell trouble for head coach Darvin Ham.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Ham may be in the hot seat if the Lakers lose the series in five games.
