Clippers double down on Tyronn Lue as head coach: 'Never, ever, ever a consideration'

In a sprawling end-of-season media availability, LA Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank confirmed that longtime head coach Tyronn Lue will continue in his role and declared that “our plan is to win” with All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard.Frank, the team’s top basketball executive since the end of the 2018 offseason, said his emotions were “still raw” two days after the Clippers blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead to the Golden State Warriors in the West Play-In Tournament. The season-ending loss put the finishing touches on a turbulent 2025-26 season that saw the Clippers start 6-21 before rebounding to extend the franchise’s streak of winning seasons to 15 with a 42-40 regular-season record.Advertisement
