Lakers assistant Phil Handy confirms he will remain with team next season

Handy had been rumoured to join Steve Nash’s staff at Nets.

Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy has confirmed, in an interview with Jason Dumas of Kron4, that he will remain with the NBA Champions next season. Handy had been linked as a possibility to join Steve Nash’s staff at the Brooklyn Nets.

“I am a Los Angeles Laker,” Handy said. “What’s next for me is to wait for Frank Vogel to pick up the phone and text me or call me and give me what my next directives are. I’m just going to sit back and try to enjoy this championship we earned and, you know, decompress a little bit. We work so hard that people think we never take time off and I, myself, have had to learn to how to decompress and step away from the game, to where I can stay mentally and physically sharp. I’m going to enjoy this time with my friends and family, and I’ll be ready for whatever directives coach Vogel has for me next as we prepare for this next upcoming season.”
