The Los Angeles Lakers did not renew head athletic trainer Nina Hsieh's contract, sources told ESPN.
Hsieh, who had been with the organization for over a decade, was promoted to the role two years ago. Hsieh replaced Marco Nunez in 2019.
Lakers players missed 201 games this season. LeBron James missed 26 out of the team's last 30 games, with Anthony Davis sitting out 36 games.
More changes are expected as the Lakers seek to restructure their approach to player heath.
