The Milwaukee Bucks are adding Darvin Ham as the lead assistant coach on Doc Rivers’ staff, a team source confirmed Monday. Ham is returning to where he developed his reputation as one of the game’s best assistants from 2018 to 2022. During Ham’s first stint with the Bucks, the team won an NBA championship in 2021, the franchise’s second title and its first since 1971.
ESPN was the first to report the news of Ham joining Milwaukee.
Ham, 50, spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers fired him on May 3, after they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets.
