In an exciting development for the Los Angeles Lakers, Lindsey Harding has reached an agreement to become an assistant coach, according to sources in a report by ESPN on Tuesday.

Harding, who was previously the G League Coach of the Year for the Stockton Kings, will be reuniting with coach JJ Redick as they join forces in Los Angeles. The two share a long-standing connection that stretches back to Harding's time as a player development coach with the Philadelphia 76ers, as well as her successful collegiate career as an All-American at Duke University.

With this new appointment, Harding will join the esteemed Lakers coaching staff, which already includes Nate McMillan, Scott Brooks, and Greg St. Jean. Together, they will work towards guiding the team to success in the upcoming NBA season.

Having retired from a nine-year WNBA playing career, Harding's transition into coaching has been a steady climb, culminating in her current role with the Lakers. Notably, Harding was the first overall pick in the 2007 WNBA draft and has already made an impact in the team's journey to the Western Conference finals during her tenure with the Stockton Kings.

Sources also revealed that Harding had been in consideration for the head-coaching position with the Charlotte Hornets, which ultimately went to Charles Lee.

With a wealth of experience and a strong basketball background, Lindsey Harding's addition to the Lakers coaching staff is expected to significantly contribute to the team's success this season. Fans and analysts alike eagerly anticipate the impact she will make in reuniting with her former colleague and helping guide the Lakers to further victories on the court.
