The Lakers have fired Mike Brown as coach after the team's 1-4 start, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly about it.
Brown was barely a month into his second season with the team, which struggled badly amid high expectations.
It was unclear who would be his replacement.
It was believed to be the earliest firing of a coach in the team's history. Del Harris was relieved of his duties 12 games into the 1999 season.
The Lakers were 41-25 in Brown's first season, losing to Oklahoma City in the second round of the playoffs.
The team has had trouble picking up Brown's Princeton-based offense and has also lagged defensively.
The Lakers are set to play Golden State tonight at Staples Center.
I saw this coming after Kobe gave him the death stare the other night.
