Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham 'thankful' for owner Jeanie Buss' full support

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has insisted he is not concerned about his future with his team because he has full backing from owner Jeanie Buss, according to Marca.

The Lakers ended their losing streak by defeating the Los Angeles Clippers 106-103, but speculation about their future has continued following three consecutive losses, with the team currently 18-19 for the season and 10th in the Western Conference.

Ham, 50, was forced to swat away questions about his position before the game and opened up on his conversations with Lakers supremo Buss, 62.

"I told you, man, I'm just thankful that I've got that support from Jeanie, with her always encouraging me, asking me 'What do I need? Is everything great?'" said Ham.

However, fans on Reddit were not convinced, debating how Buss' patience would eventually wear thin.

In a thread discussing his future, one fan said: "She's going to knife him", while another said Buss and Ham were the "worst coach and owner in the league".

LeBron James was previously seen praising his former Cleveland coach, Tyronn Lue, who he wanted at the Lakers before Frank Vogel took over.

James praised Lue — who is currently in charge of the Clippers — after being asked about the Clippers' recent revival, suggesting a shot at his current boss, Ham.

"I know T-Lue very well. It don't take T-Lue very long to make sure s*** get right," James said. "It took five games, and they've [Clippers] been cooking since."

The Lakers face the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday and the Phoenix Suns two days later, and if they lose both, let's see how much support from Buss remains for Ham.
