Former Nebraska standout Tyronn Lue was named head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday evening. The only Husker to win NBA titles as a player and head coach, Lue was an assistant coach for the Clippers last season.
Lue, who also was on the Clippers staff during the 2013-14 season, returns to the lead chair, as he previously spent parts of four seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers (2015-16 to 2018-19). Lue posted a 128-83 mark in the regular season and went 41-20 in three playoff appearances, guiding the Cavs to three straight NBA Finals appearances from 2016 to 2018.
