After seven years working from the band for the Houston Rockets, John Lucas has stopped being an assistant because he had no place in the coaching staff of the new coach, Ime Udoka, who arrived in Texas with up to three assistants who accompanied him during his year with the Boston Celtics. : Ben Sullivan, Mike Moser and Garrett Jackson.
According to Jonathan Feigen’s Houston ChronicleLucas will leave his position from the last courses, but not the franchise, since he will occupy a position in the main office, working as an assistant to the general manager Rafael Stone.
Lucas, who was the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers, came to the Rockets in the 2026-17 season to be an assistant to Mike D’Antoni and has remained with the organization ever since.
Without him, Udoka will have the challenge of turning a young group like Houston into a winning team. For this task, he will have the collaboration of Fred VanVleet, who has signed with the Texas team in free agency.
