Lakers News: Kobe Bryant Defends Luke Walton’s Performance Amid Injuries

With the 2018-19 NBA season winding down for the Los Angeles Lakers, many also believe that Luke Walton’s time as head coach is also coming to an end.

Fingers are pointing at a number of different culprits for the struggles of the Lakers this season, but the prevailing belief is that Walton’s days in Los Angeles are numbered.

It has even gotten to the point that rumors are running rampant as to who the next Lakers coach will be. The likes of Jason Kidd and Tyronn Lue have been mentioned as front-runners should Walton be let go, but Walton’s former teammate, Kobe Bryant, believes blaming him is ridiculous.
