LA Clippers' coach Tyronn Lue was unable to coach during the game against the Sacramento Kings due to back pain. Despite attending the pre-game media session where he showed no signs of discomfort, Lue's condition prompted the team to replace him with assistant coach Brian Shaw for the evening's game. Shaw, who has been part of the Clippers since 2021, has past head coaching experience with the Denver Nuggets and has a successful history as an assistant coach with the Lakers, where he achieved three NBA championships as a player.
Lue attended his pre-game session with media on Sunday night and gave no indication he was having any issue. The team provided no further details on the 47-year-old's condition.
He was replaced on the bench by assistant Brian Shaw. He has been with the Clippers since 2021.
Shaw previously was head coach of the Denver Nuggets and served as an assistant twice with the Lakers, where he won three NBA championships as a player.
