Frank Vogel's reported firing leads to awkward postgame press conference

Frank Vogel just had to grin and bear it after a report about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers leaked late on Sunday night.

The Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets in overtime during their regular-season finale. While the win was a gritty come-from-behind victory led by the team’s young players as most of the regulars sat out, the euphoria came to an abrupt halt just minutes after the final buzzer. Shortly after the game ended, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted a report that Vogel will be fired as Lakers coach as soon as Monday.

That led to one of the most awkward press conferences of all-time for Vogel, who had not yet spoken with reporters when the report was released. Vogel bluntly said that “I haven’t heard s--t” from Lakers management when asked about his job status. He did add, though, that Wojnarowski’s report reached him before he walked into the room for his remarks.
