The Lakers will add Lionel Hollins to their coaching staff as an assistant, a person with knowledge of the hire said Tuesday.
Hollins joins head coach Frank Vogel and assistant Jason Kidd on the staff. Vogel was officially introduced as the Lakers’ new coach on May 20, when it was also announced that Kidd would be on the staff. All three have previously been head coaches in the NBA.
A former NBA player who won a championship with the Portland Trail Blazers in 1977, Hollins began coaching in the NBA as an assistant with the Phoenix Suns in 1988.
