The Lakers are hiring Scott Brooks and Nate McMillan to the front of JJ Redick’s bench, a source with knowledge of the situation but not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to the Times.
The Times had reported the Lakers were looking for two former head coaches to work with Redick, and in Brooks and McMillan, the Lakers got 2,363 combined games of head-coaching experience.
Brooks, who played two seasons at UC Irvine and earned a spot in the school’s Hall of Fame, helped shepherd the rise of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden in Oklahoma City.
