The Cavaliers are adding former Lakers and Kings coach Luke Walton to their coaching staff, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Walton last coached for the Kings but was fired in the beginning of the 2021-22 season after a 6–11 start.
Walton will join J.B. Bickerstaff’s staff that finished 44–38 last season, the first year the team finished above .500 since LeBron James was on the roster during the 2018–19 season. Walton’s last stop during his playing career was Cleveland before he retired in 2013.
Walton spent a little over two seasons in Sacramento where he compiled a 68–93 record.
