The Clippers haven’t officially hired Tyronn Lue to their staff, but the former Cavaliers head coach has taken on an informal role with Doc Rivers‘ club, writes Andrew Greif of The Los Angeles Times.
According to Greif, Lue began the role on Sunday and will spend more time around the Clippers going forward this season. He has been asked to share his thoughts on the team’s play with Rivers over the coming weeks and months.
“He just watches and if he sees something, he’s just part of the group,” Rivers said of Lue, who got his start in coaching as an assistant on Rivers’ staffs in Boston (2011-13) and then Los Angeles (2013-14). Lue also briefly played for Rivers in Orlando back in 2003.
When Lue was fired by the Cavaliers in October, Rivers spoke out against the move, saying that it made “no sense” and was an “ugly part of our game.”
It’s not clear yet whether Lue will be looking to get right back into the NBA’s head coaching ranks or whether his post-playing career will take a new direction. For now, it looks like he might wait until after the season to formally pursue a new job, helping out Rivers in L.A. in the meantime.
