Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown has been fired after a 1-4 start to the season, a source tells ESPNLosAngeles.com’s Ramona Shelburne.

On the morning of Friday November 9th, Chris Broussard confirmed that Phil Jackson would return to finish coaching the rest of the 2012-13 season. Sources say he has yet to agree on an extension, but he claims however “I’m excited to get back on the court.”

Lakers newly acquired point guard, Steve Nash, tweets “It is a true gift to be working under one of the greats.”
