Amidst the hype of the Los Angeles Lakers' improbable win over the Denver Nuggets, a surprising bombshell dropped on Twitter. Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Twitter that the franchise is expected to fire head coach Frank Vogel after the season. While rumors of his firing have been circulating for a while, the timing of the announcement surprised fans everywhere.

Naturally, Frank Vogel was asked after the game about the reports of him being booted off the team. The Lakers coach had a short reaction, saying: (via ClutchPoints' Michael Corvo)

ā€œI haven't been told shit and I'm going to enjoy tonight's gameā€¦ We'll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow,ā€

Vogel's career in Los Angeles started off strong, as he piloted the LeBron James-led team to the 2020 championship. However, since that championship run, the team has failed to gain any semblance of their previous form. After exiting in the first round last season, they completely missed the playoffs despite adding Russell Westbrook.

As of now, the Lakers don't have a clear frontrunner for their potential head coach replacement. Will this move be the one that turns their fortunes around? Or will this be yet another ill-advised move that sends them further down a spiral? Only time will tell.
