Fantasy Impact:

The 2020 World Champion head coach has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the LA Lakers. Vogel, who signed an original three-year contract in 2019 and received a one-year extension through 2022-23 this past offseason, said following Sunday's game that he hadn't been told anything about his future with the team. After coaching the team to a top-10 offense and defense in 2020, the veteran head coach saw his team slip outside the top-10 in offense while ranking 21st in defensive rating. Quinn Synder remains the favorite to take over as head coach of the Lakers in 2022.
