Report: Jason Kidd Would Be 'Serious Candidate' For Lakers' Potential Coaching Vacancy

Jason Kidd would reportedly be considered a "serious candidate" for the Lakers' potential head-coaching vacancy if Luke Walton is dismissed, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Kidd will also reportedly be considered for the head-coaching vacancy at Cal, his alma mater. The Golden Bears reportedly fired Wyking Jones from the position on Sunday.

Kidd played at Cal for two seasons, from 1992-94.

Kidd previously spent four-plus seasons as an NBA coach. He helmed the Nets during the 2013-14 campaign, then went on to coach the Bucks from 2014-18. He was fired in the midst of his fourth campaign in Milwaukee following a 23–22 start.
