Dan Hurley has turned down the Los Angeles Lakers' six-year, $70 million offer and will return to chase a third straight national title at UConn, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Lakers would have made Hurley one of NBA's six highest-paid coaches. But before opening talks with the Lakers, Hurley already had an offer from UConn to become one of highest-paid NCAA coaches, and those talks will continue, sources told Wojnarowski.
