The Los Angeles Lakers have named Nate McMillan, Scott Brooks, Bob Beyer, Greg St. Jean, Lindsey Harding and Beau Levesque as assistant coaches on Head Coach JJ Redick’s staff.
Additionally, the Lakers have added Michael Wexler as head video coordinator.
“Through an intentional and thorough process, we’ve brought together an experienced, diverse and dedicated coaching staff,” Redick said.
“Our goal from day one is about fostering a high-performing environment of player development and team alignment through relentless work, daily collaboration and innovation.
Players and staff are here to enjoy the pursuit of excellence every time they step on the court.
The expectations are clear, and my staff and I are committed to doing everything we need to do to ensure success at the highest level.”
Brooks, a 12-year NBA head coaching veteran with a 521-414 (.557) overall record, joins the Purple and Gold after serving the last three seasons as an assistant coach in Portland.
Prior to joining the Trail Blazers, the California native spent five seasons as head coach of the Washington Wizards from 2016-21 and seven years at the helm for the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2008-15.
Brooks was named the 2009-10 NBA Coach of the Year after guiding the Thunder to 50 wins after the team won just 22 games the previous season.
Overall, Brooks led his teams to eight playoff berths, including a trip to the NBA Finals in 2012 and Western Conference Finals appearances in 2014 and 2011.
