Lakers coaching rumors: Team has not ruled out possibility of 76ers’ Doc Rivers becoming available, per report

The Los Angeles Lakers have taken their time in replacing Frank Vogel as their head coach. It has been more than a month since Vogel was fired, but the Lakers still haven’t settled on a coach. Recent reports have suggested that three finalists (Darvin Ham, Terry Stotts and Kenny Atkinson) have emerged for the job, but according to Marc Stein, the field is still a bit wider than that. Stein reported that the pool of viable candidates is “still wider” than just that trio, and that assistant coaches Charles Lee and Adrian Griffin would receive renewed consideration.

One name the Lakers reportedly haven’t given up on? Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers. According to Stein, the Lakers “have not completely abandoned hope” that Rivers could unexpectedly become available, but nothing the 76ers have done suggests that is going to happen.
