Darvin Ham has spent the previous two years as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, he was fired after the team finished the 2023-24 season.

On Monday afternoon, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Ham will now join the Milwaukee Bucks coaching staff led by Doc Rivers.

Via Wojnarowski: "Darvin Ham is joining the Milwaukee Bucks as the top assistant coach to Doc Rivers, sources tell ESPN. Ham returns to the franchise after spending two years as the Lakers head coach. He had been highly sought-after among teams this spring."

Ham had been an assistant for the Bucks in the four seasons prior to joining Los Angeles in 2022.
