The Lakers had a disappointing season finishing 33-49 and missing out on the play-in tournament despite expectations that the team could compete for an NBA title. This comes after Vogel led Los Angeles to an NBA championship in his first season in charge.

After the game, Vogel said that the team has not communicated anything to him about his future and wouldn’t open up about his status.

Frank Vogel says, “I haven’t been told s— and I’m going to enjoy tonight’s game … We’ll deal with tomorrow tomorrow,” when asked about the ESPN story about his job status.
