The Los Angeles Lakers coach and general manager met with head coach Doc Hollins and general partner Lonzo Ball on Monday in Los Angeles.

Hollins had been a front-office candidate for months, but sources said he was expected to be let go.

The Lakers were 0-5 and have lost eight of their past nine games.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy has been fired after a 15-16 season, and his team was 9-27.
