Rasheed Wallace is coming back to the NBA -- this time, as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers!!
The news broke on Monday ... Shams Charania of The Athletic announced the former NBA star has agreed to join the Lakers staff as an assistant coach under new head coach Darvin Ham.
FYI, Wallace and Ham -- who signed with L.A. last week -- played together on the Detroit Pistons from 2004 to 2005.
This won't be Wallace's first gig as an assistant coach -- he held the same position with the Pistons from 2013 to 2014 .
