Lakers fans are apparently fed up with head coach Darvin Ham.
On Friday night, the Lakers lost their fourth game in a row and have now lost ten out of their last thirteen games.
Despite the team’s recent struggles, the Lakers are reportedly not considering firing Ham as of yet.
Via The Athletic
“A high-ranking Lakers source pushed back against the idea Ham is on the verge of being fired. Still, serious pressure from within is clearly being applied on Ham, and there’s no better way for him to relieve it than by winning his way out in the days and weeks to come.”
Ham also believes that he’s ‘solid” and has the backing of the Lakers front office.
“I’m solid. Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka, we’re all aligned. As long as they’re not saying it, I guess I’m good, which I know how they feel about me and the situation we’re currently in. We’re all on the same page.”

Unfortunately for Ham, Lakers fans are not backing him and are calling for his firing after the team’s latest loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Fire Darvin Ham immediately, @Lakers.

If @JeanieBuss and Rob Pelinka still won't fire Darvin Ham, they need to be in the hot seat. Can't tell us you're aiming for championship-level basketball team while giving the Lakers arguably the worst head coach LeBron had.#FireHam#FireDarvinHam

It’ll be interesting to see how many more losses Ham can survive before the All-Star break in a few weeks.
