The Los Angeles Lakers announced the hiring of Eric Amsler as assistant general manager for player personnel and Keith D’Amelio as director of integrated performance systems, enhancing their front office amid ownership uncertainty following Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner’s recent acquisition. Amsler, with 22 years at the Miami Heat, will focus on scouting and player development, while D’Amelio brings experience in health and performance from the New York Liberty. Lakers president Rob Pelinka emphasized the importance of strengthening basketball operations for long-term success. The ownership change and related investments are pending NBA board approval, scheduled for September 14-15.
