LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers have signed coach Tyronn Lue to a long-term contract after winning a division title in his fourth season.
Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank didn't disclose details in announcing the new deal on Wednesday. ESPN reported that the new contract was worth about $14 million annually through the 2028-29 season, citing unnamed sources.
“T Lue is everything we want in a head coach. He’s a brilliant tactician and a natural leader with an extraordinary ability to connect with those around him, both players and staff,” Frank said in a statement. “Four years ago, we felt privileged to hire T Lue, and we feel just as fortunate today. There’s no one we’d rather coach our team. T Lue is a pillar of the organization and will be for a very long time.”
Lue has posted a record of 184-134 in four seasons, including three postseason trips and the franchise's first trip to the Western Conference finals in 2021. The Clippers went 51-31 last season and won the Pacific Division title for the third time in franchise history.
