The Los Angeles Lakers have promoted Zach Guthrie from head coach of the South Bay Lakers to assistant coach and head of player development under JJ Redick. Guthrie led the South Bay team to the G League’s best record last season and was instrumental in developing players like Bronny James and Chris Mañon. With the Lakers focusing on a younger roster, this promotion reflects their commitment to internal player development. The team will also need to find a new head coach for the Coachella Valley Lakers, previously the South Bay team.
