BREAKING: Frank Vogel out as coach of Los Angeles Lakers after a disappointing 33-49 season, sources say.
, who posted a triple-double with 31 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in Sunday's finale, said it was"good to go out with a big win for [Vogel] and our team.", who scored a career-high 41 points in the win, credited Vogel's approach throughout the season despite his job status being called into question.
"He kept his cool the whole time. Didn't talk about no problems like that. Didn't talk about anything like that, man," Monk said."He came in and worked and always gave us a great game plan ... He was always about us. It was never really about him. And I praise him for that, man. I know that was pretty hard on him but he never talked about it. He never changed his demeanor.
Vogel led the Lakers to an NBA title in the Orlando bubble during the COVID-affected 2019-20 season, and kept the franchise as one of the league's elite defensive teams through his first two seasons in Los Angeles. He is expected to be a candidate in future head-coaching cycles elsewhere in the league.
