Former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is poised to rejoin the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant coach under Doc Rivers. This news, initially reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, signifies a return for Ham, who was an assistant coach for the Bucks from 2018 to 2022.
Ham’s history with the Bucks is marked by notable achievements. He was part of the coaching staff that led Milwaukee to an NBA championship in 2021, their first title in 50 years. Before his coaching career, Ham played for the Bucks from 1999 to 2002 and had a nine-year NBA playing career, including a championship win with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
With Doc Rivers appointed as head coach in January, the Bucks aim to utilize Ham’s experience and familiarity with the team to pursue another championship. Rivers, an experienced coach with a championship background, will have Ham as his assistant, a role well-suited to Ham’s strengths as a strategist and motivator.
As the Bucks gear up for the new season, fans can anticipate Ham’s impact on the team’s dynamics and performance. His familiarity with the organization and past success with the Bucks will be essential as they strive for another championship run.
