Report: Sparks Hire Derek Fisher As Head Coach For 2019 WNBA Season

The Los Angeles Lakers are far removed from their championship teams and players, but some of their players have remained close to basketball.

While a couple of players are still playing such as Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza, a couple others have gone on to become head coaches in the NBA. Derek Fisher was the head coach of the New York Knicks from the 2014-16 NBA seasons and Luke Walton is currently the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fisher may not have done the greatest of jobs with the Knicks, but as a former point guard on five championship teams, his basketball IQ is unquestioned.
