Jeff Van Gundy will join Clippers as lead assistant
Jeff Van Gundy has agreed on a deal to become the lead assistant on Ty Lue’s LA Clippers coaching staff, sources told ESPN. Van Gundy is considered one of the finest minds in basketball and had been pursued for years to return to coaching on a full-time basis. His relationship with Lue and the franchise’s fondness for Van Gundy played major parts in the Clippers’ ability to land him, sources said. Van Gundy, 62, spent the previous 16 years as a television analyst for ESPN before accepting a role with Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens last summer.

Jeff Van Gundy wins a championship ring — as a Celtic — and we will soon see if the Clippers, as I reported last Thursday, successfully complete the hiring of JVG to join Tyronn Lue’s coaching staff: marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-f… – 11:43 PM

Thrilled for Jeff Van Gundy, who was a no brainer hire for the Celtics. He worked behind the scenes and helped the Boston coaching staff immensely. And now he gets a ring.
