The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks as top assistants on JJ Redick's new staff, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday.

Redick gets two longtime coaches for his staff that have a combined 31 seasons of head coaching experience between them.

McMillan, 59, was fired as coach of the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 21. He had replaced Lloyd Pierce as interim coach for the Hawks in 2021, engineered a run to the Eastern Conference finals and was awarded a four-year contract.

He went 99-80 with Atlanta and has a career record of 760-668.
