Dan Hurley will travel to California on Friday to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers to discuss their head coaching vacancy. Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss will lead the meeting with Hurley as the pair are “eager to close a deal” with the UConn head coach.
The two sides are discussing contractual parameters, which will be significant in length and salary.
Hurley has yet to make a decision about leaving UConn for the Lakers, but sources tell ESPN there is “momentum” in the talks.
UConn’s administration was notified by Hurley of his talks with the Lakers on Wednesday, and he told his players on Thursday.
Hurley has been the Lakers’ top target since the beginning of their search despite their reported strong interest in J.J. Redick. The only canidate to have two in-person interviews has been James Borrego.
