Lakers are asking for permission to interview member of Raptors

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rumored to be interested in hiring Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, but he is apparently not interested.

But the Lakers do have interest in one of his assistants, and they have reportedly asked for permission to interview him.

Via The Athletic:

“The Los Angeles Lakers have requested to interview Toronto Raptors lead assistant coach Adrian Griffin for their head coach opening, sources told The Athletic on Wednesday,” wrote Shams Charania.

Griffin had a nine-year NBA career as a player with several different teams, and he became an assistant coach in the 2008-09 season for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ten years later, he joined the Raptors under Nick Nurse, and they won the NBA championship that season.
